Hi there
I have 98 vt commodore i just installed 70mm throttle body and cleaned maf sensor with maf cleaner
Now my car is over heating???????
Please if anyone can suggest anything?????

Overheating.... can't think of anything related to the throttle body that would cause that, except if you've effected the mixture and it's running mega lean. Is it pinging?

Have you checked the basics? ie coolant and oil?

No tune idleing the same as befor
Does a tune have anything to do with engine tem??

easy cheap fix no tune needed take off the rubber pipe in front of throttle body. rap gappa tape around the TB until it closes off about 10mm of the intake hole. now you have 60mm of intake the problem should be fixed and you still have the wank value of a 70mm TB. and the added bonus of knowing more than all of GM's engineers. :{
