everything was fixed before being sold. FYI, the bolts snapped because a shop over tightened them.

clean carbon deposits from your TB and intake manifold. You also should put 1 can of sea foam into your gas tank and 1/3 of the can in your engine (OIL).

I used the STP stuff. Worked great for me, and felt a little better after doing it also.
