I would.

**Atreus** · 06-14-2010, 08:37 PM

not worth the risk, just do it.

**///M42 sport** · 06-15-2010, 03:38 PM

would ya'll change the tensioner and waterpump too even though its just been sitting?

**Restoman** · 06-15-2010, 07:10 PM

The tensioner will be just fine. A spring sitting does not wear out. Water pump? I don't know. No?

**///M42 sport** · 06-19-2010, 02:43 PM

should I replace the waterpump also? It was replaced during the last tb change last 4 yrs ago.

David, I'd go ahead and knock it out since it'll all be within reach. Are you in Dallas again?

I was trying to figure out why one would replace a throttle body because a car sat.

I was thinking the same thing too.

Haha same as above.

Anyway I vote change the water pump too if it's 4 years old. I would change the tensioner just for good measure too.

dang, I never thought about changing the TB. I usually only hear about people changing the trunk latch after its been sitting. Good thinking!

change tb after storage for 1 1/2 years?
