[QUOTE="Raja_Mongkut, post: 635258, member: 7413"] Throttle Body removal and clean up, and wee bit of misfortune This is where things started going downhill. 4 nuts and couple of hoses later, the throttle body slips right out. Of course, MAF and air box had to be removed. Dirty Intake Manifold: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26675[/ATTACH] Dirty MAF: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26676[/ATTACH] Even Dirtier Throttle Body: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26677[/ATTACH] Source of the leak: A 6mm nipple not connected to anywhere. Later plugged with 6mm fuel hose and a bolt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]26672[/ATTACH] TPS soaked in engine blowby: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26678[/ATTACH] Scrub-scrub with diesel and worn toothbrush: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26673[/ATTACH] Looking more like a Throttle Body now: [ATTACH=CONFIG]26679[/ATTACH] Tragedy befalls! Apparently 30 years plastic connectors weren't diesel friendly, and virtually disintegrated while being soaked! Have a ghetto solution in mind but if anyone has a spare they don't need, please throw it my way :) (PS: I just need the broken part) [ATTACH=CONFIG]26674[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
