Throttle body air leak...Pics inside with how to fix!!!
Wow.. glad I searched this. My CEL keeps coming on and I checked it at the zone and it came up as TPS then today the light went out randomly. It had been going off and on for a while. the driveablity of the car was getting on my nerves too since it is so rough and it acts like it is being vented.
I kept saying It has to be a leak but never did check. of course never would have expected this anyway. This thread may have just saved me from buying a new TPS. I also noticed I hit fuel cut really easy at weird amounts of boost sometimes and weird throttle possition so now im thinking this is all related. BTW a tad under 41K on my 03
for this write up and info

for this write up and infohope its just your seals but if its your TPS- im in MA and have an extra for sale hit me up
This is great info, and I'm planning on doing a leak test shortly.
I'm just wondering if there's any differences in building a leak tester for the IX. Is the turbo inlet the same size? Any differences in TB bearing seals?

I got an 05 EVO with less than 6000 miles and it leaks now! I a can't believe it is bad so fast. I kind of wonder if the leak test blew out my gasket? As no one would really know unless they did the test.
yeah my 05 def sticks when i rev high and then the rpms fall VERY slowly i had no idea what it was it didnt do it very often at all then started getting worse
the car is off the road for winter and im thinkin i might just do an aftermaket intake manifold and throttle body because i dont want to have to tear my throttle body apart every 10k
does anyone know if this happens to aftermarket throttle bodies
ive also noticed a lot of the cars in the reads ive read concerning this have been 05s
thinks theres some sort of relationship with the 05s and much worse seals?

Wow I hadn't even thought about the throttle hangup... I had that and the cause had perplexed me for quite a while. I just realized that it hasn't done it since I changed those seals...
As the pioneers of the throttle body upgrades for the EVO, WORKS has been aware of this issue for sometime and has a proper solution (correct style, fitment, and pressure rating) coming this summer.
I've replaced mine going on 3 times and it still leaks
