Well, I just finished cleaning the throttle body and intake pipe/s on my AU Futura after a quick perusal of GK's simple "how to".I also CRC'd the springs and axles on the whole throttle and butterfly wing area,as well as the throttle cable entry/exit ends.
Wow- what a difference! Especially to the smoothness of acceleration,the whole pedal pressure feels lighter and a bit more responsive.
While the general area of the throttle body was clean- it had a lot of black grime on the inside,particularly on the bottom of the body and back of butterfly wing.
I used a white rag, and it was pretty damn black when I finished!
I also took off each piece of the snorkel/intake and gave them a good clean too.
I was very surprised to find a couple of large tree leaves in the section AFTER the air filter! That can't have been helping air intake.
All in all one of those nice jobs to do on a sat avo parked up on your front lawn with the sun on yer back and a bevvy or two at arms reach in the esky!
