you can remove the crap inside the plenum and throttle body.

ok. thanks man. didn't know if it would affect drivability or not. don't know why it would, but just wanted to ask...

 

[vermilion]

removing it also helps preventing contamination of intake air.

Ford used some kinda coating on the inside of the tb, using spray cleaner you run the risk of removing it. Won`t hurt to clean all the crap off, you will just have to check it more often.

thats weird all the stock throttle bodies i had were aluminum. maybe i dont pay attention after all

Mine had a film inside the TB. I used to just wipe it clean. The plenum you can clean good and port it if you want.

 

[Cruizin GT]

My film is long gone, someone else already spray cleaned it. So until I get aftermarket, I check once a month.

Dont know if mine has film, anyone got pics.

Space and time will merge on a single fold creating a paradoxical universe based on that moments decision and making a new universe along the interstellar time line. After that though, nothing will happen. It's just a coating that helps prevent soot build up but is basically ineffective right about the same time the manufacturers warranty runs out.

english please^

 

[NERD]

Yes, very much so.

 

[WarHorse]

Ha good, thanx Sxynerd, i thought it effected performance in some way.

by the way If i spray throttle body cleaner into it will it wear the film down, and if so will this damage my engine?

 

[Cruizin GT]

Yes and no.

Very much so!

The bad part about Engineers is the #1 concern with them is getting your new car to perform as designed/advertised up until the warranty ends and after that you are on your own.

Yes and no.

Yes it will wear it down, and no it wont damage my engine?

Thanks Cruizin, I recently had problems with my IAC and sprayed the crap outa everything. No big deal car still runs great, just wanted to make sure its safe to do if i ever have to do it again.
