    My 97 gtp with 50k miles is taking longer to start then it used to. It used to just start at the tap of the key now it takes like 5 seconds of cranking to start it. I read that its common for the throttle body to carbon up on the 3800 and that cleaning it usually solves it, However I also read the throttle body cleaner will eat away the coating on the supercharger rotors. What should I do?
    Is removing the throttle body a difficult job? Can it possibly be the fuel pressure regulator? I already changed the fuel filter.
    I also have a minor oil leak that I haven't been able to track down (changed both vc gaskets)
    While reading through the forums I read that the coolant elbows can leak oil? I thought they can only leak coolant. How exactly can they leak oil? Ill have to check mine...
