Title: Throttle Body Heater.
Post by: Sophia69IS on January 03, 2009, 11:53:59 AM

Hey sorry if there is already a thread about this, I could not find it.

Sooo I was planning on removing my throttle body heater because it wouldn't cost me anything and I have idle hands at the moment. Also from what I understand it will give my improved MPG at the expense of the Enviroment.
From some reading it seems the heater although said to be for extreme cold temps was actually added so that the US would stop whining.

Any advice?

Or what sort of performance has anyone recieved that has removed the TB heater already?
