Throttle Body Cleaning - do I win?
Just got a new (to me) 2007 GT. It's convertible and its automatic, I never thought I'd be saying those two things. Was looking for a completely different kinda mustang, but I regret nothing, it's a blast to drive. Maybe even more so than my 1988 GT (God rest its soul)...
Anyway, crappy throttle response since I got it, but I was sure I'd be able to fix it. Lots of Google, lots of looking at the pedal, doing a reset, pedal relearn, more Google, learning that Mustangs apparently deserve eleventy-billion different forums (my past vehicles have only had a couple of forums each), and then stumbling upon a thread suggesting that a good TB cleaning can do wonders.
And here we are, I dove in when I saw a thread about how easy it was, cleaned that sucker up, and suddenly the car is running beautifully and I'm realizing how crappy the first 3 weeks have been!
97K miles (ish) and I wonder if that's ever been done!
Look at how much I got off of it!!!!
