16567, THROTTLE BODY ISSUES
Posted by Avenger EST, Mar-05-02 01:04 PM
Ok. The only boost leak left on my car is where the throttle plate shaft goes into the throttle body (under that big coil spring). I would SERIOUSLY like to know if any manufacturers (i.e. HRC, howell, cnnp, etc) have got aroudnd this problem, or does everyone just ignore it. there is no seal there (just metal against metal). Does anyone know where I can ge ta throttle body taht is sealed right there? the one I have now is a gude 55mm throttle body.
A.D.P.
bring it on............

If you remove the entire TPS system, butterfly, and throttle shaft, there *should* be a rubber seal there. I already had to replace one TB (my original) because one of those seals went bad and i had a humongous boost/vacuum leak there.
