brettenator Member 66 Member For: 13y 9m 3d Gender: Male Posted 23/05/11 01:44 PM Share Posted 23/05/11 01:44 PM Hey gasman, make sure the solenoid is connected like so.If it already is connected this way make sure you get it checked on a dyno.PS: I apologise about the diagramSorry to be pedantic but my bottom hose connects to the side of the solenoid, not the very end. That's correct isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Hulk New Member 11 Member For: 13y 10m 27d Posted 07/06/11 12:27 PM Share Posted 07/06/11 12:27 PM (edited) Read through this whole thread this arvo lol. Umm'd & ahh'd about doing this (I've only had the car since Saturday), but in the end I decided to go for it & give the solenoid a hit of WD40. I'm really impressed with the increase in responsiveness down low. (is responsiveness a word? ) I also came across this about cleaning the throttle body:yea the throttle body clean works a treat easy to do as well I was scared at first but easysorry that its AFF but here http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=73561includes info on Throttle Body cleaning and boost solenoid , and Torquing of exuast manifold boltsIs the aim of cleaning the throttle body just to allow the butterfly to move more freely? ie: so it's not all gummed up? Is there any reason you'd clean deeper into the manifold? Would this have any benefits? Edited 07/06/11 12:30 PM by Mini Hulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, I stick my fingers in as far at they will go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't cleaned mine since getting my mods put on 35,000km ago, time flies! Was filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
