Thumbs up

Cleaned the throttle body today with some synthetic valvoline stuff in a gray can. Used about half the can in there and tried to get it in as deep as I could to clean the intake runners too. Started the car and it was coughing and gargling like a big block cigarette boat with above water exhaust. It sounded so cool I took video of it. I think it was just burning off all the crud and spray in there and sounded like it was misfiring a little. Maybe I used too much. Ran it for a little while to clear up all the gunk and then it idled smooth. Time to go for a drive and see how she does. I love weekends with sunny skies and nothing to do.
