TBI Rebuild

[rdlyn13000]

Anybody ever use these guys or anyone else that does this? My gas pedal is sticking bad and I think the bushings are bad? Not sure if its something I can do myself or if I should send it in and have it professionally rebuilt?? Any opinions?

Just get a rebuild kit for $25 and do it yourself, not hard.

That would work, but I've heard better things about the kit from Autozone, can't remember the name of the brand right now. But that Borg Warner kit should be absolutely fine.

So go with this guy? http://www.autozone.com/autozone/pa...WD/_/N-j1xtuZ8vd9p?itemIdentifier=182053_0_0_

How much time will this take to do and whats the difficulty?

Time? An hour if its your first time and you aren't good with your hands. A $5 set of bits from Walmart and a set of metric sockets is all you need. Make sure and clean the main body and throttle plates well, they are the most common cause of sticky gas pedals. I clean LS throttle bodies on a routine basis. I probably get 10 calls a month saying their throttle sticks when they first start the engine and goes away after it warms up. They soot up at around 75-100k miles, only need a simple cleaning to fix the issue.

The autozone kit is the one i always use when i rebuild TB's and its fairly easy takes me about 30mins but most of my time is cleaning all the carbon off. And also about the bushings you need to check them before you think you need to replace them because i've rebuilt 10-12 TBI's and none yet have had wore bushings

Thanks guys, appreciate the info. Im going to tackle this tonight hopefully, I might have some questions later if I cant figure something out Lol

Yeah it's not hard to rebuild a TBI unit at all, I have done too many to count.
