Leak at tb axle
I was bored and decided to play around with my smoke machine. Pushing smoke through the pvc hose and plugging the tb intake I got some smoke from the case via blowby I suppose and a fair amount around the tb axle at the spring. Wasn’t expecting that. Don’t seem to have any drivability issues but was surprised.

Re: Leak at tb axle
Fortunately, this is an SD (speed-density) EFI, slight vacuum leaks don't matter at all; no MAF sensor to be being "cheated".

Re: Leak at tb axle
The only time the TB shaft is an issue is when it becomes so worn the throttle plate doesn't close consistently.

I was thinking...be careful the lube does not contain anything that would harm the oxygen sensor. I was over-thinking...the TB butterfly return spring is strong. As a sort of an air filter, you might be able to wrap some oiled, thin felt cloth around the outside of the spring and staple the felt to itself. It would be best to remove the TB to wrap the felt and to verify that nothing dangerous would happen. Be careful.

Re: Leak at tb axle
> Simply replaced with a low mile used unit.
In previous relevant discussion, OldNuc made same suggestion. |
