#20146, "Chances of getting a lemon Throttle body from AFX...."


          

Thats right boys and girls, heres my next performance mod. I have searched and read numerous posts about bad butterflys, and we are not talkin about the tatoo Mariah has (the old Mariah, when she was skinny). What are your experiences. How many members have them and please state the problems you have had. I am just worried about getting a bum TB. Trying to see the odds. Thanks..jd

i wouldnt worry about their crafsmanship at all... they are an honest company, and if you ahve problems, they will help you figure a solution...

mine went on perfectly with no hitches.. the torx bolts are anutha story......

play it safe, and send em a spare... if it isnt performing correctly, slap your old one back on, and solve the problem...

Well I thought I had a problem w/ mine but it wasn't too big of an issue. After further review (sound like a parole board) we noticed that the screws that actually hold the butterfly on were loose and that was causing it to get hung up at idle. Tightened them and everything is great. Go for it, as everyone else says they will help you if you have a problem, but do keep your oem til you are sure the bored one works. Later
