Just a few min's ago i changed the oil and cleaned the TB on my wifes 2.2. I have seen a few threads that people are haveing issues with idle after cleaning. I hosed the tb down with carb and tb cleaner and brushed it with a chemical resistant brush. I did it with the tb on the car, started it up and it ran just fine. I don't understand why people are havein idle issues after doing this.

 

IIRC it was that people who were having idle issues were advised to clean the TB, not that people who cleaned the TB had issues afterwards.

 

Actually there were some threads about people having problems after cleaning there tb.

 

qft

i've heard the same thing.

 

yes i had a problem after cleaning tb. car was running fine before just a lil bouncing idle problem but after i cleaned it was idling at 2 grand. dealer replaced the tb still had high idle so the tuned it to ilde down so i dunno wtf the problem was.

 

steve did this and manually moved the butterfly and had problems, so we swapped to my spare and it was fine, we are thinking that by manually moving the tb butterfly you are causing problems with the idles position

 

I manually moved the throttle plate. I don't see what would cause that issue

 

there are gears and electric motors in it, if you move it against what it wants to do you can move the pieces inside that tell it what its supposed to be at and what idle is

 

i manually move mine quite often. I dont think thats the issue

 

i am having rough idle problems and i just cleaned my throttle body and that didnt help anything...still idling rough
