This is a question concerning my 04 lesabre with a normally aspirated 3800 series 2 engine. figured this section would be the best suited.
I just removed the throttle body to clean up the carbon build up around the blade (it was sticking (annoying). i had to damage the screen to get to the throttle body (yes, i did remove the circlip first), it was just really stuck in there super tight. I tried to gently use the butt end of a wooden handle but no luck.
I don't have another screen to put in till I order a replacement. So I just put everything back together without the screen, and the car runs fine and isn't throwing any codes.
question is, do i even need to buy another? will this mess up my maf readings anyway even tho theres no codes?
