rockfangd Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 can anyone tell me how i can clean out the throttle body on my 3100 v6. thanks [attachment deleted by admin] Removed to free up storage space. Quote
ToroToro Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 If you feel up to pulling it off, that would be the best way. Otherwise just remove the intake tube, and hit it with some carb cleaner and a lint free towel. Manually open it to get the insides. After you do this it probobly wont want to start right away. You might have to give it some gas. But otherwise thats it. If you are gonna pull it, I would go ahead and get a 3400 TB for it. Direct swap and I'd say it's worth about 5 horses. Pull out and clean the IAC too before you put it on. They get really gummed up. Quote
rockfangd Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 thats a great idea, what year 3400s would be compatible. i will get one, clean it, then swap it out for more horses Quote
rockfangd Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Posted January 31, 2007 so i must know when you go to vlean the throttle body what is the easiest way without doing too much work, will i have to take off the intake completely, to achieve this? someone have instructions lol>?

Psych0matt Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 spray carb cleaner into tb, easiest way. Quote
ToroToro Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah like I said the easiest way would be to just pull off the rubber intake tube and spray 'n wipe. I certainly hope you can figure that out. Otherwise it's two bolts to remove the whole thing. On in front and one facing the rear under the TPS. I dont remember what all is in the way but it's still a simple job. I know the throttle cable bracket has to go. They just unclip from that. All years of 3400 will fit. Quote
rockfangd Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 thanks yeah i want to make sure to do it right the first time lol Quote
rockfangd Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 this may be a stupid question but i have to ask so when i get the TB from a 3400 am i going to have to take off the whole intake with the 3400cover or just the TB Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 this may be a stupid question but i have to ask so when i get the TB from a 3400 am i going to have to take off the whole intake with the 3400cover or just the TB Just the TB, but the whole intake setup is far superior. Quote
rockfangd Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Posted February 4, 2007 would the whole thing be a direct swap? Quote
chadz34 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 would the whole thing be a direct swap? Well, I'm sure a few things may need to be changed, other than that it's fairly direct. They are very very similar in design. Quote
Crazy K Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 read the recent 3400 hybrid threads although the 3400 TB will bolt up to the 3100 intake, the hole is smaller and will create a lip that would probably cause more s\air turbulence than what the swap is worth. Quote
rockfangd Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Posted February 9, 2007 really. well before i o and buy one i want to be sure it is going to be worth my while Quote
Crazy K Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 you coule enlarge the bore of the 3100's intake... but I would just clean it and resaerch swapping the intakes if you care to. Quote

Nah, the opening on the intake plenum on the 3100 is smaller than the tb opening of the 3400. You had it backwards. Quote
