Default Re: High Idle

There is some dark brownish stuff that the factory put around the throttle body bore right where the butterfly plate contacts when it is fully closed to help create a better seal. That stuff is called DAG. It's easily mistaken for dirt/oil. I don't think you can get it anymore and to my knowledge, no one has found a suitable substitute yet.

Since you used TB cleaner on it, you probably cleaned off the DAG and now the butterfly plates don't have that seal anymore.

Here is a link to a page on Marc Haibeck's site where he talks about the idle issues the LT5's TB can develop:
