Re: Throttle bodies

Awesome! Hadnt thought about a spacer. I''ve got the OTR intake too so knowing no space issues is good to know. Thank you

Throttle bodies

Anyone changed out to a different TB? What brand? Notable changes to acceleration (lag time... I get real tired of the feeling it's falling its face)?

Re: Surges ?

[/quote] I would guess that when the temp sensor went full cold, the ECU would 'think' you've just started the car and it goes to cold startup setting which would set the throttle so the engine idles at about 1000-1200 RPM to warm it, instead of the normal 600-800 RPM.

On average seems to jump about 300 RPMs Last night / this morning at 0230, I was about home and noticed as I turned off the highway the temp gauge had gone from normal running temp to cold. It came ...
