yet another clean throttle body thread

[superskip]

but with a twist?

(i did a search honest injun i did) and came up with 'there is no way to keep the throttle body clean'

I've cleaned mine twice now, latest only lasted 2 mos until throttle started 'sticking' again, on a low mileage camry shouldn't do this ...

Gotta be fault of pcv line - crankcase gases dirtying up what should not dirty up in the first place ...

So Ima gonna kludge this thing - block off crankcase vent to thr body - I'm a rebel, i tell you, a rogue, a scofflaw ...

But this is sumtin not to be put up with especially low mileage car - a Toyota ! (they all do that ? wtf)

Maybe the pcv valve gets dirty and sticks completely open ? ? ? I dunno . R/R pcv and design flaw pia forever rectified ?

But I feel a kludge coming on, getting my kludge mojo up, look out Camry - it's your turn, ha ha ha ... (oh u should see my kludges, stuff of legend locally actually)

The victim-to-be : 2001 Camry 4 cyl automatic ~ 50 000 miles

Tell me why I shouldn't

Blocking the PCV line wouldn't be recommended. Venting it is an option but then yer gonna be polluting the air even more so.

Try an oil catch system (can/jar). I made mine from a canning jar and installed that on my wife's 2001 Camry, 4 cylinder. You can even buy them off of eBay, too.

Oil catch jar - good IDear! In fact I have one already made up sitting on a shelf, fabbed from a pipe tobacco can ...

This toyota's virtuous non-polluting virgin virginity may be saved from the kludge horror !

Thanx!
