i got stock throttle body and i took the aircleaner off today to check and see how dirty it was, so i decided to look down into the TB and i seen the butterflys are like gunked up,,, they are like black... would this be bad? can it be the reason for lack of power... thanks for the help in advance

 

Probabaly in need of a good clean. Remove the TB from the intake, and clean it up good with carb/chock cleaner.

 

will this rob my power? cause it dont burnout from a deadstop unless i breakstand

 

My TB looked like that when I bought it. Good idea to clean it like Silver_Dodge mentioned, but, I don't think it'll get you into "burnout" status. Worth a shot.

 

well i know but im just hopeing for a lil more power...

 

I can't burn mine either, I've done all the basic crap, plenum, tune up, timing chain, ect. Do every little thing that can help though.

All I haven't done is check the fuel presure and compression, which are doubt are going bad.

 

When you take the TB off is there a gasket you need to replace?

 

Yes ! any local parts store has it...Fel Pro Carburetor/Fuel Injection Mounting Gasket...

 

what happens if you forgot to replace it?

 

if youre looking for more power why not upgrade your throttle body to the fastman
