Good to hear it worked out. I can not believe you made it to TN and back like that. Learn from your mistakes...we all make them..and usually laugh about them later. I broke the rear window of my BMW trying to put the trim back in. Rear window of my '89 Rover shattered after fixing the rear defroster. That one was just a freak thing. I try to stay away from glass now...LOL

Have we respected the request not to mock?
Sure if it was bad or expensive you cut a guy some slack but this calls for a little good natured ribbing.

[QUOTE=Breezy;244985]FIRST of all...Please don't laugh at me or mock me for this. I was experimenting when I did this:
2 weeks ago I took the throttle body apart to clean it and it was necessary to pull off some hoses (I didn't know what they did...just that they were clamped on they needed to come off).QUOTE]
What is this Carbon in the Throttle body you speak of?

DJ, is that a serious question or are you mocking me too? Haha.

I think we can safely assume you cleaned out varnish in the throttle-body not carbon...unless of course you've got a serious valve-train timing issue!

Just Google 'carbon in the throttle body' to learn more. It comes from the exhaust you're mixing with air thru the EGR valve and gases coming thru the PCV valve and possibly other hoses leading back to the intake. Yes, clean, fresh air is entering the chamber, but there's pounds of carbon coating everything inside the intake chamber.
