Well, I found out that FORD puts a gel type substance on the TBs to prevent this sticking and because this guy cleaned it, there is no more gel on it.... They said that I would have to continuously spray carb cleaner in it to keep the sticking down to a minimum or buy a new TB... morons dang





The "gel" is actually Teflon, and if they uses a Teflon safe cleaner it'll still be there. But, consider this: how good a job did the Teflon do if the TB was as seriously gummed up as yours was? Just add a simple cleaning to the list of preventative maintenance items to do once a year or so.
