So I just wanted to make this thread to share something I found when I did my throttle body job in June of last year. Warning: it’s pretty disgusting

This is what the inside of my EGR spacer looked like. In addition to looking absolutely disgusting it was also a huge pain to get off. I would also like to note that a new throttle body completely solved all of my idle creeping issues and the car has ran pretty trouble free up until recently after this job

Yep that about sums it up. Slowly but surely reviving it

I should’ve gotten a picture of how my computer and injector harness looked. The power wire in the black 10 pin was cut on both sides and wire nutted back together
