I have never noticed these TBs to gunk up on our falcons, but have noticed that on the 3vs, the underside of the plate can get oily and slimey. The PCV vacuum inlet sits just underneath.

I have seen plenty of really bad gunked up ones off the F150, using the same TB.
OK, I didn't know that ,my AU got quite a bad dose of it and had to scrape it off
