Throttle Body Spacers - please don't try them anymore.

that collar youre talking about...isn't that the crank case ventilation that runs into the back of it from the driver side valve cover?

Yup thats what it is

see I have a throttle body spacer too and I took that collar off the other day and it just spit out a blueish haze out of the hose. is there a way to re route it/get rid of it? or is that not normal for that to happen?

Most people that delete it put one of those valve cover breathers in place of the hose

would I do the same with the other valve cover? the one attached to the throttle body (looks like a vacuum line)

Same on the vortec 5.7's. Cause the fuel is injected after the spacer.

Mine has been on my truck for 13 years and over 100,000 miles with no problems. I put it on the truck when I bought it in 1999 and the truck had 84,000 miles on it then. Has 188,*** on it now.

The only problems I have right now started a few months ago with terrible idle at 1000 rpm while driving down the road with an occasional backfire. Still trying to figure that one out.
