Cleaned Throttle Body. new to us TB for 2 days now

Just thought I'd share the photos of the before / after pictures. My guess is, it's never been cleaned before. I don't know, 106K miles on an '03 LS

took more than the projected 30 minutes. Mainly due to needing to figure out how to remove the connector on the throttle body properly, and using a make-shift tool to remove the lower two bolts. the electrodes on the plugs were a bit in the way. PLUS, the extra time to clean! lol

happy to have this behind us, maybe the pcm reset will be easier with the clean unit!

Yep - never been cleaned. 1845 Dodge City Miss Kitty's Saloon and Cat House spittoon "patina".

Accomplishment feels great! The JB weld apparently did the trick with the vacuum connector on what I guess is the resonator (it is called that on the Dakota).

yeah patina

After seeing that TB, you should change all fluids/filter/plugs/02 sensor now.
