Well poured sea foam through the vacum, no difference. I still have yet to clean the TB but The sea foam might have done this.

I will be trying in the gas tank and with the oil, next, but sketchy about the oil. People were saying the sludge might be holding my engine together.

If you really think the cat or muffler is clogged then you can do the good old redneck way of while it is off hit it with a hammer and then start the truck and rev it a couple of times to blow out anything that you hit off when you hit them. But must a tune up, with better octane gas. I know it cost more but it does run better. And when you do a tune up and see what the spark plugs look like. That way you can see if their is one that's not firing right that is keeping your engine frome purring like a kitten.

Well I will see once I get the Cat back on, it should be welded on but it depends wether the guy is busy or not, yesterday was supposed to be done but wasent due to him being busy.

I wanted to ask this but can I use a gasket maker for the TB? I can't seem to find a gasket for it even from the dealership. They told me it was not listed in the computer. I have paper, and the tube type which would I use?

I have the same problem. Idiots at Auto bone(er) told me they cant even order it. Seems to me that you should use the paper one. Just make sure it's thick enough to make a good seal. That is one place you do not want a leak.

Anyone else???
