>> Besides fixing the throttle body leak, make sure you have no exhaust leaks. << OK, since the throttle body is a known area where it could be leaking I guess I should start with this. I've never taken one off. Is it pretty self explanatory like R & R of the AFM or do I need the Bentley procedures? What exactly do I fix once I get it off? That exhaust check will be next after this.
>> Then, less likely are injectors, ECU and fuel pump. You've replaced your fuel filter recently, right? Temp II?? << Fuel pump and filter are 6 months old the fuel pump went out one day with my 3 year old. Luckily we were in walking distance of the house. I have a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank that I added right now. The fact that moving screws around, timing, etc. is affecting this kinda makes me think it's not the injectors.
BTW, what would be great would be one of the list mechanics starting a "virtual repair center". The idiot at one end (that would be me) could move the PC camera around while the real mechanic on the other end does the guiding as to what steps to do for repairs. Just rambling.....
