attempted replacing Throttlebody shaft seals

[loreak]

i got everything ripped off and i was trying to take the throttle plate off, and one screw came loose and the other was super tight and it started to strip, so i stripped it a little bit and just stopped before it got bad, i ended up just cleaning the throttlebody, and ill tell you what....when you look inside and it looks nice and clean, you should open the throttle plate and look at the intake manifold side, it was HORRIBLE

it looked like the underside of the car, a thick layer of gunk built up, you could run your finger across it and pull it up in a huge wad, and the whole inside of the manifold is the same way, i got the tb cleaned up nice and cleaned the inside of the manifold for the first few inches

while i had everything off i put on my egr blockoff plate, so it wont get all cruddy again, i would definately recommend to anyone to make or buy an egr blockoff plate, and spend a day to rip off your intake manifold and tb and replace the shaft seals and gaskets if you can, and clean everything out

i think im going to buy a throttlebody and intake manifold and get them all nice and clean replace all the seals port them a little bit and swap them on

im getting a little tiny bit of idle surge, when i let off the gas the revs come down to 1200-1400 and it takes like 10 secs till it goes down to normal, is this caused by blocking the egr? or is it cuz of having carb cleaner in some of the holes on the TB

Probably neither.

Check the idle speed controller and the TPS.

it must be the TPS, I had the isc holes covered but not the TPS, and a little got in there, its slowly getting better, between that and my nasty miss and sputter at idle is really annoying
