Last post was in 2013, so I doubt that they will reply. That being said, I am in IT and I did clean my throttle body. If I can do it, I am sure that you can too.

It is much lower down than the non-T version, and seems to require more disassembly of the ducting etc. I will revisit it again --just cautious about the sensing mechanisms.

They are torque to snap ends, they pop off if you wiggle them with pliers etc then have normal hex ends from memory. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/73686-how-to-clean-your-throttle-body/page/4/#findComment-1694578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
