took of TB in past, did not put new gasket

[mk3tattoos]

I removed my TB so i could clean it out one day about 6 months ago. So i was doing some research and came across a comment were it said not to use carb leaner if the tps is on there. Is that true did i ruin my tps?

I have a couple more questions on the TB. Do you have to replace the gasket on the TB after taking it off?

#2 should i set the TPS and then the timing just to make sure Its all good?

Make sure all the orifices in the TB are clear.

1) The TPS is pretty much sealed so unless you soaked it I doubt you did any harm. At any rate a quick test with a meter will confirm whether it's OK.

2) Of course you should replace the gasket. Buy one, make your own, or use some sealant (ugh). You can even do the old fishing line trick.

3) It's easier to set the throttle plate stop screw, TPS, and dashpot (in that order) while you have the TB off the car. Refer to the TSRM. Timing should not have changed but it wouldn't hurt to check it...

1) oh good, so it should be ok. Iwill still test it though, just to make sure.

2) It just look to be in good shape so I did not want to mess with it. It take's alot of scraping to get it off. I got a toyota gaskets today.

3) Ok sounds good, i will set everything in order.

thank you for you help JET.
