For your information - Problem Caused By Carbon Buildup In Throttle Body

[Jackpine]

Good post, Lars. I wonder if you'd start to see the "rough idle" that Bill describes on the PHP website maybe a little before you started getting all these serious symptoms?

In any case, seems like a good reason to keep the throttle body clean.

(And I hope you don't mind, but I changed your title to more directly reflect the subject).

Thanks Jack,

Dixie designs thread actually started me thinking about this. So I put 2+2 together and think that this might be the reason they offered him this service.

So maybe getting the throttle body cleaned should be a general practice when ever spark plugs are done.

Yes my truck had rough idle problems and because intake gaskets were just replaced and the tb was over looked by Tom's tech. I got it cleaned for nothing and the tow call paid for.

Just a thought.
