Cleaning throttle body Made a Difference 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvo Guy on  Fri May 9 17:04 CST 2003 [RELATED]

For whatever it's worth, a thorough cleaning of the throttle body made a big difference. As per FAQ, took TB off, cleaned with throttle body cleaner, and toothbrush. Loads of black gunk came off. Put new gasket on ($4.50) Silicone sprayed seals to moisturize, and reassembled. Noticed an immediate difference in smoother acceleration. Was a little but staccatto previously, but this make a huge difference for the amount of effort. It is easy to do. Hope this is useful to some.
