How's the car running? Any difference now than before cleaning?
The car is idyling a little bit rougher and the rpm's are at 800 instead of 750. Throttle response seems to be quicker but my excelerator is sticking on take offs. I drove it for about 15 mins. on Saturday and 20 mins. Sunday but it drove the same both days. How about Jeb, Drew, and Lamond have you guys noticed any difference since the cleaning?

I haven't driven it since I got home, but it felt like there was a little more pull in the midrange. Idle needs a little more time to re-learn itself, and I've got to replace that throttle body gasket (got the wrong one AND put it in upside down...I rock), so technically I'm not finished yet.

After the drive home, i noticed mine feels a tad bit quicker when the secodaries open. The intake also seems a bit louder. Jeb, be glad you just have to replace the throttle body gasket! mine will be ripped apart early saturday morning to replace that broken clip on the injector harness

The CEL finally popped up this morning, which I'm assuming is throttle body-related. Definitely have more pull in the 2K-4K range.

Drew said he's had a CEL since he's had the car...
Jeb has the wrong TB gasket one and thus a vacuum leak...
Steve's 'misfire' I'm figuring is a loose plug wire since I remember him and/or Pete fiddling with the wires. Which it seemed to run fine when I was there.
The sticking throttle cables though has me perplexed since it happened on both Drew and Steve's cars...
The other misc minor broken things are just, IMO, due to the cars never being apart. :-)

LOL. No Dan, most of the "little" problems only showed up after everybody went home. The throttle body gasket was a wrong part number (which explains Jeb's P0171 and P0174). When he gets that, everything should be fine. Drew already had the pedal issue before showing up. Steve is probably the not starting issue which resulted in flooding (I think the problem was due to the injectors not being pushed in properly), then it started and I am sure once he scans it, it will probabably be P0172 and P0175 (probably will go away when it is deleted). LOL. There were enough tools to go around. It was just a little hot 100 F or so. Hey, if you do offer your place next time, I'm sure those who wanted to come but missed it will be most glad to come. Gainesville isn't that far. Plus, I'm sure most would like to see your "facilities" where mods are done. Let us know and maybe we can set up another one (maybe next month?). Thanks for the offer.

no no, I had no pedal issues before showing up. I had that CEL, which seems to have vanished though. considering I probably would've spent a lot of time and money trying to eliminate it, when all it wanted was to be cleaned out, I'm still plenty satisfied with the outcome  . AND I found out what that horrible whine coming from the car was (power steering pump  ). I'll figure out something w/ that throttle cable

Hmm, did Steve have the sticky pedal too? I thought it was only Drew's. I could have sworn Steve's was because the FI wasn't seated right. But it was hot and maybe my brain got fried and I can't remember anything now.
