Did you take the TB out?

I cleaned my MAF sensor and the EGR a few days ago and now my car feels like it lost a little power. The idle is better but feels a little lazy on the pick up...

 

No man. Just took the intake off to the tb then get some tb cleaner spray. Spray that in there and wipe it down. Use a wire brush or toothbrush or something to scrape the areas you cant really reach very well.

 

are all of you running 87 octane or 92 or what?

 

Only 89 here.

 

87

 

Sometimes I fuel up at husky, they put 10% ethanol in the fuel... might have an effect on fuel usage.

 

I only run Premium non Ethanol (Our cars weren't made to run on Ethanol)
Only run premium because the nitrous set up, plus only gas you can get in my area non-ethanol. Ethanol puts so much moisture in your system, its insane they try to make us run it, they figure cars fill up to fast so they will Steam most out threw exhaust thats left behind. but if your gas sits in there for a little to long lets see how much your car loves you after you make it run off corn watered down gas. Personally I don't think cars running on ethanol that aren't flex fuel vehicles wont ever be the same. f Ethanol *cough cough* just my 2 lincoln heads.... still waiting to see my gas milage.

 

Man you're lucky. I can't find anywhere gas without ethanol down here in Miami...

 

Here bro ... Just pick your state and find the cities near you. Miami and Hialeah have a few stations, but none with 93 for me as I have the reflash

Awesome site, Thanks Lanzer!

 

Why cant our cars run off of gas with ethanol in it?

 

Also dacib when you cleaned ur tb did u take it off? U might need to replace the gasket if ur not gettin as much power. Id go over everything and make sure its all together for sure. Make sure the adjustible clamps on the intake tube are tight.

 

No one said they won't run off of gas with ethanol , just for that extra edge in performance and mileage pure is better. Like buying Fiji water over the no name water at walmart.

 

Great site. Thanx a lot!!!

 

I have never cleaned the TB only the EGR and MAF. I might do it this weekend.
