The incessant grind of the engine made my heart sink, for I had spent countless hours tinkering with its parts. As I fought back the sinking feeling of failure, I realized there was one last chance to make the motor turn. Throttle Body Fluid had always been my last resort. With my heart racing, and palms sweaty I sprayed the potion into the intake manifold and hoped for the best. One final turn of the key, and the engine thundered to life.
