Default Throttlebody work

I am considering sending my stickig TB to Marc to have the polishing service done to fix my sticky throttle plates. Is he the only person to offer this service?

Send it to Marc. I took my car up there and stayed all day while they worked on it. Marc and his son are very meticulous and know their stuff. If he was closer I would have less $ in my bank account for sure..LOL

My newly acquired car is there now. He found a few issues including one serious that could potentially have lead to catastrophic engine failure if not corrected. Additionally, he is doing even more performance modifications and Dyno-tune to realize this cars full potential.
He's a pleasure to talk to, I'm looking forward to visiting with him and driving my beast home to NY.

I wish I lived closer. He is about an 8 hour drive from me. I will be sending him my TB and chip for a tune. I knew he was good, but I just didn't know if I should be looking at other options.

Next question: Must I drain coolant to take off the throttlebody?

You have to drain SOME of it not all of it.

WHEN I had coolant in my TB, I found by draining just a few quarts or so was enough, especially if the front wheels were up on ramps. (YEARS ago I installed plugs into the injector housings that routed coolant to the TB. I've had NO issues as result. But, then my Z doesn't see much (if any) winter driving; due to the salt and traction sand laid down.)
