did you actually leak test your car or are you just pulling stuff off and replacing it?

+1...really hope you marked the TPS (throttle position sensor) with several marks to make sure it lines up correctly when you put everything back together. I also marked the spring on the throttle body with a mean streak marker to make sure the spring matched up to its original position. If you did not mark the tps, you are going to have some driveability issues

marked and made sure i knew how much spring wrap it had before i pulled it apart.....and definatly leak tested.

when i pulled it apart it was apparent the leak was coming from the spring side seal. loked like maybe the car sat on a dirt lot in inventory forever cuz the rubber was just weathered and cracked all of the way around the edge.

tried to save myself the drive and the messing around at the dealer and the gas didnt work out lol instead it cost me 155 total between the vavle and the works seals
