My throttlebody is not closing all the way when I take my foot off the accelerator. I took off the air boot and gave it a good wipe down with some Gumout and a shop cloth, but it still won't return to full closed. Before I remove the TB for further investigation I was looking to get a new gasket that goes between the TB and intake. I was unable to locate a part online and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a gasket there and what the part number is? so I can get one before taking it apart.

Thanks,

No gasket is used. That's why you can't find a listing for one :-)

Further investigation when off the car should include a re-cleaning. My experience is that on-the-car cleaning doesn't work very well.

It can also take a day or two of driving for the idle to "re-learn". Odd, I know.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Doug. I will yank it out tonight and see what I can do with it.
