Hey all,

I cleaned my TB's today following instructions on this forum. Everything seems fine, they were dirty as hell on the manifold side. I cleaned them in place on both sides with no problem. My super sluggish acceleration seems to have improved a bit.

However, on the passenger side (Left side in Aus) when removing the throttle-body, I noticed it was making a loose metallic sound - almost like many springs clashing together. The butterfly valve didn't show any sort of play though. The drivers side was fine and made no sound.

Any ideas? Should I replace it?
