Just finished cleaning TB with positive results. Any other easy jobs in the engine bay? I'm bored.

Default Smooth startup, smooth idle, and it feels like the throttle response is crisper...

In any case it didn't hurt to get in there and clean up a bit. For one thing, it gave me an excuse to thoroughly inspect my throttle body boot (Which turns out is in A+ condition). Only took about half an hour and part of a can of carburetor cleaner.

Default Yep, I saw a writeup on it somewhere. Actually, I thought about that because I had pulled them to

make room to remove the TBB - however, I don't have wrenches big enough to open the body, and I don't have any grease. Next time I'm on duty at the hangar I'll do it there - they only take a minute to remove. Thanks for the idea!

Default "More Crisp". Happy? :) I don't have any logs but SnowTrooper saw an improvement

in his logs, he posted about it sometime during the last week.
