Just wondering if anyone can tell me what might be up.
I just took my '01 RT/10 apart to get some frame work done (certification for registration)and when I pulled my smooth tubes off, I noticed some black sludge around the lip of the air flap on the passenger side intake.
I cleaned out both intakes when I had the car apart a few months ago. I'd guess there is only about 100 miles on the car since then. The sludge is black and its thick and sticky. It has only collected just on the area, on the throttle body itself (not the flap) just within a quarter inch of the area where the flap is next to the body (how's that for a technical explanation.. ) It's also only on the bottom edge, not the top.
I'm worried that over time the sludge might close up my intake to the point where idle is affected. Where is that crap coming from and how do I stop it from collecting there?
