Dirty Throttle Body
I need your opinion on my throttle body. I pulled off the air intake today and noticed my throttle body was coated. I am using a Mike Norris can.

That's not good at all. Have you seen the inside of your Mike Norris catch can? What type of design is it?

I don't have a catch can and my tb and intake are super clean @ 50k miles.

I thought so too. I took my tb off to swap with a guy at work that wanted a ported one and was impressed on how clean even the intake was.

Okay guys I got to the bottom of it. The Mike Norris can lines install backwards to traditional catch cans. The top inlet is the dirty side and the side outlet is the clean side. I had them backwards. Will try it out for a few days to see if it stays clean. Went ahead and changed out to fresh lines and cleaned the mess up.

Either way, it's 8$ a can, so it's not going to break your pockets even if you still don't think it's effective.

Good to hear you found the problem. I have a couple questions to help me out so this does not happen again.
Did you get this from me or one of my dealers? Was there instructions that came with the catch can? There should have been a basic instruction sheet that I send out with each unit as well as 1 for every unit ordered from my dealers. Let me know and thanks. Mike Norris |

That oil could also be coming from the clean side. Check the inside of your intake for oil. If it has allot in it, it is from the clean side coming from the vacuum line going into the air intake.
