I NEED A QUICK RESPONSE!!!... I took apart the throttle body and the pvc black K&N 90degree elbow that is under the throttle body and cleaned that too... Im trying to assemble everything and I put the 90degree elbow but now Im trying to put the throttle body to the elbow and my bolts wont fasten to anything... There wasnt any nuts holding these bolts from the throttlebody to the 90degree elbow was there? Im like amnesiac or something..... what the hell? I have the 05 5.4liter

Picture? Is this specific to the K&N setup, or the stock TB?

^^^ I used the CRC cleaner yesterday when I cleaned my TB and my truck drives great now. The CRC cleaner says it is safe for coated TBs and that is why I choose it over the B-12 Chemtool throttle body cleaner. My custom tune that I got 2 weeks ago feels much stronger than before.
Thanks for the advice guys.
