740 Throttle body, result

I enquired on this group as to the whereabouts of my throttle body the other day, and received the necessary advice. My car wouldn't idle below 1200 rpm, and the adjusting screw had about 1/8 turn between idling and stalling.

I have just stripped and cleaned the throttle body and reassembled it with new gasket and a new "o" ring in the idle adjust screw. I gave it 10 minutes in a ultrasonic bath, then finished off with cleaner. It was pretty gunked up. The car now idles right down to less than 500 rpm, but I have set it to about 900 rpm as per the specifications.

Thanks to all for the original advice.
