motor / part in question - 4AGE Throttle Body
problem - Play/Vibration in Throttle Body when engine is around 3000RPM
Hello all,
Since I have had my 4AGTE engine I have always had a bit of play in the throttle body which leads to a loud vibrating/buzz when the car is around 2800-3000RPM. It isn't a major problem by any means, hence why it has been like that for 1.5 years, but it is something that has been in the back of my mind waiting to be asked, just that I have never bothered!
Like I said, it is not a huge issue, but it is definitely something that I'd prefer NOT to have as it makes my car sound like it is falling apart. Especially annoying when 3000RPM is about 80KM/H in my car and I often have to sit at that speed in traffic.
My question is, has anyone else had such an issue with this, and/or could it be possibly related to the fact that my throttle body is rotated 90º to how they are normally mounted? (Throttle wheel is horizontal)
I know I could rotate the throttle body to see if that makes a difference, but it is a lot of work if it is not going to help. TPS wires would be too short etc.
Just hoping somebody could shed some light into this, and what my best option is. (Rebuild throttle body/find new throttle body/rotate throttle body if that may help)
Thanks for reading,
-Alex
