Does anyone know the stock diameter of the throttle body on a 97 4.0l SOHC? And does anyone have any suggestions for a good aftermarket one?
A friend of mine is suggesting that a bigger throttle body might solve the lifter/piston tapping. He said the combustion chamber might not be getting enough fuel/air mix, maybe because of the KKM air intake on my X. He says it sounds a lot like an octane knock like some older cars have had. Anyone know anything about this? Believe me when I say I have tried EVERYTHING that's been posted in this forum about dealing with the infamous "pinging".
