C4-93-LT1-6 sp IAC Question

[Jack W.]

I am in the process of cleaning the throttle body (dirty ain't the word) and have removed the IAC. Looks like there is (well-worn) teflon tape on the threads, and I found a sliver of it in the chamber. Is the tape (or whatever it is) needed when I put the IAC back in? If so, what exactly should be used?


Thanks again,
Jack W.

To which threads are you referring - the bolts that hold the throttle body to the plenum? :confused

You really don't need the teflon tape, or any sealer for that matter, but it was probably used to prevent seizing when you tighten the bolts.

Ken,

I am referring to the threads on the IAC.
