Here's a video of what we encountered on my vehicle after reinstalling the tbs. No idea what it was...any guesses?

Pintsize725 · 07-20-2014, 11:46 PM

Here are pics of one of the tbs still installed and the backside when removed. Both were prior to being cleaned, obviously. I didn't get a shot of the cleaned version.

Weird... Did it go away, or does it come back every time you start? I installed ported throttle bodies and the car did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Most likely the ecu just adjusting since you unplugged the tps'.

Went away after the third start. It could be how I was sitting, but I was sensing some hesitation to accelerate beyond 2k rpm this afternoon. I'll be running it through some paces tomorrow.

Discovered over the weekend that my differential bushings are shot. Now researching for a replacement. Definitely not going back to OEM.

Hey Tracie,

I just cleaned mine out yesterday.

I didn't totally disconnect them just pulled them out far enough to get in and clean them with a brush and carb cleaner.

Mine started right up with no issue so Im guessing like it was mentioned it had to relearn the tbs position since they were disconnected.

At first I thought it was a vacuum leak But it corrected itself so thats out the window.

Good to hear its corrected.

Sorry to hear that Rafael

You going to replace it with another stock bushing or aftermarket?

Going with Whitelines. I'm also open to other ideas. I see some yellow Whitelines which is odd. I know SPL makes 'em but think it is overkill i don't know. It is a $45 difference between the two. Any thoughts G?

None!

I have yet to fully examine that to give an honest opinion on what way to go.

SPL's are solid iirc. you'll get a huge increase in NVH going the solid route. id definitely go with the polyurethane whitelines. i have a set sitting around for when i either get a new LSD or my bushings go out. whichever first
