Not sure what you mean by lower leaky thing. Did I say something about that, I forget?
A few years ago I got the throttlebody repair kit and went through the procedure. There were a couple of steps that I was unsure about, just did not make sense, and I couldn’t find any info to help me, so I put it together best I could figure and it ran well. The gaskets that you speak of were included of course.
Still I wonder if I should go for a major renewal in that department. Here is something from our friends with perhaps the catchiest TV jingle ever:
I think I will ask my mechanic buddy his advice. I am getting less and less inclined to tackling complicated jobs for the first time ever. A lot of stuff I will still do, and I’m not opposed to a learning curve, I just hate being in the middle of something and really feeling like I’m spending hours and hours to F it up.
