Throttle body.

May 24, 2006 4 Replies

Does anyone know if the throttle body for a single point 16v "K" Series engine is the same as the one on a multi point?


Dont be silly!

The SPI throttle body is down draught and has the injector / stepper motor / air temp sensor all combined in a single unit and is 'wet'.

The MPi throttle body is either cast alloy or plastic and is a dry side draught design.

So no to answer your question, they're *completely* different.

Steady on, Tim. OK, so I'm silly.

Can the throttle potentiometer be cleaned at all?

You may have some luck with careful cleaning with some carb cleaner / brake cleaner, but dont expect to get a huge amount more life out of it.
