As well as doing what is specified in the bulletin it is critical that all rubber hoses and plastic parts be inspected to see if they need replacing. The part that goes into the valve cover on my car had deteriorated inside the cover. After all hoses and parts were replaced and the box on the rear of the engine cleaned out at 120,000 miles, the symptoms the car had of blowing blue smoke on start up cleared up. Also, I clean the TB religiously every 5,000 miles. There is now NO oil reside in the hose that feeds the TB and only normal sooty deposits appear around throttle plate. The rest is squeeky clean. Before was saturated in oil. The car is now getting 24.5mpg around town. Over 34mpg on the highway.
