I know if you move the throttle body it will change the tune. I was just wondering if you guy's think it will change the tune at all, if I cleaned it? If the computer reads that more air is coming in with the clean TB and your tune is set for the dirty TB. Do things change much?

I doubt cleaning the TB will affect your tune

Cleaning the TB doesn't affect the tune....but accidentally disconnecting the PCV line certainly does , Just ask me how I know this....I dare ya

Ya HAD to go and ask me didn't ya......

I had the PVC line come off on accident and couldn't figure out why the truck was running like ****, I spend three days screwing with the tune until I finally got it running right again with the exception of a high idle that I couldn't get to go below 900rpm. I was standing beside the truck with the hood open when my girlfriend came outside and stood beside me and looked into the engine bay...she wasn't there more than two seconds when she said: "what's THAT hose go to" and pointed to the PCV hose that I hadn't noticed was off.

So, not only did I waste three days dicking with my tune for no reason....but my I-can't-tell-the-difference-between-a-Chevy-and-a-Ford girlfriend was the one that figured out the problem.............I told you not to ask!!!
