Ok - so the throttle body is where the air goes in. I guess that is under some air filter. Thus if you drive through a lot of forest fires or big city fires where much of the city is burning, then there should be a lot of carbon build up around the throttle body. BUT WAIT ! Maybe there is some recycling of partialy burned gas through this thingy???? Some brands of cars stick that dirty air back into the manifolds some other places as I understand it. Sometimes through special valves, even. And those valves have to be repaired or replaced from time to time.
I guess the PCV valve keeps those deadly cancer causing PCV things out of the car. Or maybe it prevents Intel Based computers from invading the car??? Oh well ... back to moron school to study what a PCV could be fore - golf anyone?
Why can't you switch a belt without taking the radiator out? That seems strange to me. Maybe while the engine runs the belt has to rotate around the radiator to stay cool and extend its life? Glad to hear the radiators are that rugged. At least the dratted things shouldn't fracture into millions of pieces the way some Kars Radiators' do! Or perhaps the car is too small to have room in the engine compartment for a belt to be removed by big hands. Now why would the 430 be made so small? Are they our of space in Japan and are afraid if they put too much space in the cars and then export it the nation will get smaller? Hey! I got an idea! Only let small handed mechanics work on it!!!! Yeah
- thats it!!!!! Thats why you have to take it back to the stealership - cause only they have the small handed mechanics to work on it!!!!! So you are rite, Amsta! You can take the car to any wrench to work on it. They just have to have small hands or you will have to pay more to get the belts changed.
So I am guessing that either the LA stealerships charge more than 1250 for the 90K checkup or else the regular wrenches out there have bigger hands cause they only charge 250 less. Strange, I would expect them to have smaller hands, kind of like Californians are all into that metro-sexual thing with nice small discrete body parts.
