Store > Gas Engine Products
This is neglected on almost every newer gas engine I see. Replace this during throttle body inspection and cleaning.

You do the throttle body cleaning service, and you might be surprised at the results. When does this ever get done? I have experienced smoother idle, less stumbling, more power and better fuel economy from just doing this easy and inexpensive service. Plan to replace this seal every 80K miles

Product Details

 This gasket seals the intake air elbow, where it slides onto the aluminum lip of the throttle body. The seal is made out of a tough material, but it will not last forever due to heat. 272273

What a difference a clean throttle body plate can make in engine performance. I have seen engines stubble with poor acceleration and be miraculously cured by just cleaning the throttle body.

This is the location of the seal.

Common failure item. Change at 40,000 to 50,000 miles to avoid problems. Video Instructions included.

Failure is more common and happens more often with these thermostats due to the internal temperature probe that goes down through the center of the housing. It is much better to replace this as a preventative measure to prevent engine overheating.
