    Default Cleaning throttle body and Plenum VX exec v6

    Hi

    I need to do this to fix the rough running issue I have with my vx.

    Do I need to replace any of the gaskets when I do it? I'd rather find out now, and get them in advance than find out later!

    Other than the tool to release the fuel lines, are there any other special tools required? I have sockets spanners etc.

    Cheers

    Keith

    Yes, Replace the gaskets, And the Seals around the injectors, If you dont you could run into leaks and end up doing the job twice, and we dont want fuel splashing around in a hot engine bay.
    The Fuel Tool is all you need, I think thats the only special tool, everything else is just sockets etc
