Worker Neutral Newbie February 19, 2004 Share February 19, 2004 [reply]get the throttle body cleaner and clean it yourself... cost: throttle body cleaner abt S$10+ to S$20+...good for many applications... labour FREE...you do it yourself... Do you just spray the cleaner all around or do you remove the whole throttle body for cleaning ? If it is just spraying , where do all the dirt go to ? Into the inlet manifold ? Will that lead to the dirt getting into the pistons , combustion chambers , valves etc ? Would like to try someday . Rgs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 just spray into the mouth of the throttle body and intake manifold and the dirt will be burn off in the combustion chamber... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armored_Saint Neutral Newbie February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 500rpm? wow, that's kinda low...is it the usual with Jazzes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 (edited) Not surprising for 2 spark plugs per cylinder. I upgraded my ignition coil to those high power types and I improved my idling from 900RPM w/o A/C to 600RPM. Ignition upgrades are worth their weight in gold. Your emissions will improve because the petrol is guaranteed burned to a crisp. Imagine with a MSD. Edited February 20, 2004 by Genie47 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saaber Neutral Newbie February 20, 2004 Share February 20, 2004 imagine going for higher compression level now....... http://www.smileycentral.com/sig.jsp?pc=ZSzeb028 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
