I have a TS astra 2001, and the engine started to cut out sometimes while i can smell something like dirt burning when the engine cuts out. I open up the bonnet and white smoke is coming out (could smell it inside the car aswell). could it possoibly be the throttle body im looking at ? thanks all, cheers Hi there,

I tinker with auto parts as well but more toward fuel saving devices, air intakes and mufflers. Did a posting on muffler cutting here: http://enginestartbutton.org/2007/07/28/operation-muffler-the-procedure-explained/.html Still rather new in the tuning world, so looking forward to exchanging tips. P.S: Would you like to be my guest blogger mate? Would be really honored if you could! Man you’re good. I tinker with auto parts as well but more toward fuel saving devices, air intakes and mufflers.

I find most in the motor trade are reluctant to adopt technology. I would like to add to you post a word of caution. Late model throttle body's are coated and cleaning with solvent based cleaners is not recommended. There are some detergent based cleaners now finding there way into auto parts suppliers. Also some sensor failures have been linked to the use of Propelant type solvent cleaners. Regards, John Hi Craig, just discovered the blog. well done on getting involved in ICT.
