    Great video. I cleaned the throttle body on my 99 Chevy Tahoe and OMG what a difference, truck is running like new. I uses to always have the check engine light on. I replaces the TPS SENSOR about 3 times and it still wouldn't go away, after cleaning the throttle body check engine light went away. Again great video. Thank you!

    I did this following his work....man the difference it makes. No more rough idle. Cost me 3.50 to get it done.

    It's hard to find a quality video like this, thanks for putting in the time. My idle is rough when stopped in drive. Might give this a shot, after I replace my fuel filter. Thank you

    Thank you so much for the video, totally worked! I own a 1997 K1500 that had a rough idle, smell of gas from exhaust, ran fine at highway speed or once warmed up, used your video, sure enough, horrible carbon buildup, worse than yours. Cleaned it up real good, runs like a champ!!

    Oil air separator in line to the crank case vent to the throttle body or air intake keeps your throttle body and valves cleaner, longer.

  • @eddieandcara
    @eddieandcara Před rokem

    Hey really nice video and great explanation. Just a couple of questions, 1st- what kind of aftermarket intake is that? (K&N) size? Also I noticed several other mods on your Tahoe. I have a 1997 LT four door 5.7 that I am fixing up. ITs got over 360k on the odometer, and needs a new gauge setup. Mine has the tendency to jump around. Maybe you could go over a few of these issues in a future Video for us guys who love the Tahoe's and big butt Chevy's..LOL
    Thank you,
    Mr. E. (?)

  • @MrGeorge0088
    @MrGeorge0088 Před 9 lety +3

    Excuse me sir,
    Can I clean the throttle body without remove it from the engine ?
    by the way, I think you should remove the negative plug from battery before do this work.
    that will turn off the light of (Check Engine) / (Service Engine Soon) :)

  • @512Airsoft
    @512Airsoft Před 9 měsíci

    There's some orange residue from the gasket on the outer diameter of your throttle body inlet (on the TOP)... You did not discuss this gasket because it presumably didn't need to be changed. But what is that orange circular gasket called, and where can I buy it?? Mine is in very poor condition and I can't find it online so far. Thanks

    Been thinking about upgrading to a k&n intake on my 97 K1500. I've heard mostly good things, but the people that aren't satisfied go way out of their ways to complain, mostly about how it loosens up so quickly and needs readjustment constantly. Thoughts?

      This guy did a good job but , what also should be done is separate the air idle control valve and clean it . Also clean the the throttle body where the air idle control valve goes back into. But in your case I would check the brake light switch.
