Do throttle body spacers really work?
Yes, throttle body spacers do really work, however, it typically depends on the specific engine involved as they work better on some engines than others. Their function is simply to alter the airflow into the intake manifold.
Are throttle body spacers effective?
No. Not in today's cars. All new cars are MFI, multi point fuel injection. These spacers may have some effect in older cars which utuilize TBI, throttle body injection, where the fuel is mixed before the throttle body. Simply put, it has been documented and proven that these spacers have little to no effect on new engines. You would be lucky to see a 2hp improvement. If horsepower could be so easily manipulated by the shape or size of the throttle body, the manufacturer would have made it into their design.
What does a throttle body do?
A throttle body spacer is a small block of aluminum that is bolted on top of a vehicle's throttle body, that has a port or multiple ports in the center of it. Most spacers these days also have either a helical cut along the walls of the port(s) or serrated edges, which help the air/fuel mixture to become more turbulent. This turbulence causes the air and fuel to more thoroughly 'mix', resulting in a more complete combustion inside of the engine cylinders, less wasted fuel, and a moderate gain in horsepower. Most spacers cost between $50-$100 and are available for most vehicle applications.
What is a tbs injection?
Every Jeep has a multi-port injection system and the TBS injection which stands for Throttle Body Spacers are directly injected into the chambers to optimize air/fuel mixture within.
1996 jeep Cherokee throttle position sensor location?
It is located on the outside of the throttle body in line with the butterfly. Remove the air intake from the throttle body and it will be accessable on the back side of the throttle body. Easier to work on if you remove the throttle body. Easier to clean it too.

Will cylinder heads on 87 3.9 liter work on 97 3.9 liter dodge?
No, the throttle body and multi port heads are not interchangeable.No, the throttle body and multi port heads are not interchangeable.
What does a vortec on a car do?
Way to flat of a question and you need to reword and be more precise. Are you talking vortec as in the turbos? Or vortec in throttle body spacers? Or vortec heads? Or some kind of weird science geek experiment?
