Replacing air filter with a Fram next week, then regular maintenance and just keeping it as close to showroom cond as possible like it is now |

I replaced my intake manifold gasket a few weeks ago and cleaned the throttle body and idle control valve. The gasket may have been broken but I didn't know for sure as it is brittle and broke up upon removing. The end result is a much smoother idle and what seems to be better fuel economy. 14L per 100 km suburban sounds about right for a VCT. I will post my figures later.
cheers Bill.
