Just a quick tip, I have had the "manometer" on my throttle bodies a couple of times a week over the last month or so, just cannot quite get it right.....

So I remembered a coment on another forum a year or so ago and thought worth a try, clean the "brass screws" ...

So I whipped them out, and yes there was a thick black waxy gunge on the tapers as was mentioned, cleaned it off and it works, much more precise adjustments, gonna grab some ear buds now and clean the taper seats as well :biggrin: :biggrin:

As was and cleaned..
