change tb after storage for 1 1/2 years?

[///M42 sport]

I stored my mtech for about a year and a half. Now driving it as a daily. Should I go ahead and change the tb if I'm goign to be driving it as a daily from now on?

[ZM Blue Devil]

I would.

[Atreus]

not worth the risk, just do it.

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

[Restoman]

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

[///M42 sport]

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

[Bimmerista]

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.

[dnova89]

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!
