Default Is the throttle body gasket suppose to be....

When I remove my throttle body is the throttle body gasket suppose to be completely soaked with coolant? Or is it suppose to be dry?

Thanks, do I need to change the gasket everytime I take the t/b off?

you should, i guess it just depends how often you take it off. If it looks real bad, replace it, if not i guess it should be OK.

it helps to do it, especially if it's wet. once it's wet it won't be very good anymore. same goes with the sensor gaskets (if you touched those)

I got a CEL light (code 7 tps sensor) and tried to see what the problem was. I took the car to the dealer and they found that the wires were coroded. Weird.
