Ok, I reinstalled the TB today cause I went back to stock for other reasons. I've got no prob with this TB until now and here's what I've found....
My vacuum went all to heck and I was seeing an AFR of 18.5 or so at idle, so air was getting in where it shouldn't. Never had this issue before so I started investigating. When I sprayed brake cleaner on the side of the TB at the springs for the throttle plate the car smoothed right out then almost stalled because I sprayed too much there. I tested it 5 times and its apparent there's a BIG leak there. There's a black plastic grommet there and the darn thing had a crack in it.....
So, I apologize as I was mistaken about this TB. It sat on a shelf in my shop for a month and now it leaks most of the time. Guess you get what you pay for.
Anyways, the TB has potential and actually flows very well. Just got to figure out how to seal up that shaft properly. Perhaps someone with some savy can work with power products on a better sealing option, as I tend to be a bit too blunt .
