OH NO! Throttle Body Clean

[MMBLUE]

Ok, so the MM is rough idleing lately. I figured I'd go to the local Advanced Auto Parts and do a throttle body clean on her. Here I am in the parking lot spraying inside the the butterflies and the red plastic spray extender flies off and shoots into the intake. I'm like OHHH :censor: ! This is not good. I go inside and ask if I can borrow a flash light and long needle nose pliers. The workers give me the tools(real nice bunch) and I'm looking down in there and ........? Not a damn thing. So I go back in the store and they give me all access to the tool cart. And sure enough, after taking the intake off there it is. It made the hump all the way to the first cylinder up front. Pick out the culprit and needless to say, the MM got a real good throttle body cleaning while I had it off. Whew.

[Mr. Man]

Wow you were lucky you had access to some tools.

[musclemerc]

Damn David.... In the parking lot you had to remove the entire upper and lower intake? OUCH!!!

[MMBLUE]

Na, Just the upper. It was easy. Look at you 1600 posts.

[musclemerc]

Hmmm, moving up in the world. Only took me what 6 years. OK just the upper so you got lucky my friend Wheew!

Well, B/C I'm stuck here in Mississippi in an apartment TCS for the Army and have no garage here. So why not just do it in the parking lot at advanced. Actually, it was better I did it there than at the Apartment. I would've had to call Musclemerc to come on down to bail me out with tools (and he's got some cool ones).

I was going to take a pic of it, then I thought, EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

I bet it was a nice shocked faced, followed by saying "NO NO NO NO" then a few choice adult words. I know that's how I would of been. lol

That would SUCK! But........Would it actually affect anything before melting down and shooting out the exhaust valve like a spitwad?
