throttle body springs
On re-assembly of the throttle body I find that my '88 S4 differs from Dwaynes '87 car that he used for the Intake refresh project.
Does anyone have a description how the springs are attached with the newer config?

[QUOTE=the flyin' scotsman;8461913]thx Zebedee (longtime no speak Garth, hope you're well)
Cheers Malcolm .... all is well - trust the same for you: had the C4S out briefly two days ago, the 928 should come alive by Thurs, gauging by the optimistic weather forecast. It has been a cool spring, delaying the end of hibernation.
G'luck with the springs - If I had a S4 TB in front of me, I might be of some help - but it was 4 years ago that I last had an '88 apart.

thx Ed......interesting that Porsche changed the design so much between '87 and newer cars.
Wondering if they were concerned at all of the throttle plate not closing quick enough on decel?
For those following along be careful with eyes and fingers.....these springs are strong!

Im the guy that removed -1- spring..the inner one to be precise because I was tired of shin splints driving the car.
Made enough of a difference, I dont get splits or sciatic nerve issues anymore..still plenty stiff, considering all of the other springs that are at work against the assembly.

Hi Malcolm,
Your assembly is looking good! Here's some pics of the '88 when I did its intake before I disassembled and cleaned the linkage. Looks like your configuration matches it.

Threadsurrection time!
I just got the car back with the tranny rebuilt. The shift points are dead on and everything smooth. However, the throttle seem so stiff. I feel my calf muscles building in my right leg and basic acceleration is work...like braking without power brakes is the best way to describe it.
Is there any place to lube/adjust the tension? Again-don't want to mess with Bowden, Throttle, Cruise, Pedal as it is balanced nicely. Cruise kicks in and holds the correct speed as well...

wow, 8 years ago, how time flies.
I cannot comment on removing a spring but the throttle body rebuild including cleaning and refitting all the springs does do wonders to the operation. So much so it hasnt been apart since with no intention or need.
