so i bought an 2000 si w/ 68kmi and i noticed that the spring on the throttle body is dirty, then i look inside the throttle body and see that its also dirty. the dirt i think is causing my car to stall out after i rev the engine. it seems like the spring action is not causing the throttle body to close all the way and its not letting in enough air , therefore causing the car to stall. Any other SI owners have this problem?????

 

anyone know if cleaning out the throttle body will help?????

 

Maybe, dirt on the spring doesnt really matter a whole lot, those all get dirty after a while so i doubt that will fix your problem. My T-body sticks closed sometimes.

my t-body got stuck closed too but i cleaned it and now it doesnt. it opensand closes completely and opens up with no problems. i also put more tension on the spring so it would close

 

these are just signs of your car asking you for a new throttle body... most likely a 68mm
