  • Skunk2 throttle body

    so i got my car tuned the other day and it went fine other than the fact that my throttle body keeps stickin i made sure the throttle cable was working fine and checked the throttle body and it feels like it catching a small lip only as soon as u start to open it it works but get stucks sumtimes and is really annoying i called the place i got it from and they said they dont warranty i guess just wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if they have any ideas about trying to get it to work right thanks

          That is why I don't buy mail order. I would have walked in and smacked him with that p.o.s. next time buy locally. I had tuned a b20 vtec that had one from manhonda, the throttle plate itself fell off. This is all within 1000 miles. skunk 2 get a thumbs down for thier throttle body

                I actually tuned his car. the throttle body was defective right out of the box. when you pay your money for a product you expect it to work without hassles. he can probably send it back to skunk2 if the vendor interact's. I don't know what have been done besides the fact that it is brand new and already comes with problems.

                    by the way most aftermarket throttle body's will require some adjustment to get it perfect. but this was a side to side clearance not a sticking closed issue.

                        No doubt. I am going to sleep. I need to wash the alcohol (fuel) out of my eyes.
