Throttle Body Assembly Replacement Removal and Installation

1. Remove the injector sight sheild.



2. Drain the radiator coolant.
3. Remove the air intake tube.
4. Remove the IAC sensor electrical connector.



5. Remove the MAF sensor electrical connector.
6. Remove the TP sensor electrical connector.



7. Remove the accelerator control and cruise control cables from the throttle body lever.



8. Remove the accelerator control and cruise control cables from the throttle bracket.
9. Remove the electrical harness retainer clip from the accelerator control cable bracket.
10. Remove the vacuum lines from the throttle body noting location.



11. Remove the throttle body support bracket (VIN K only).



12. Remove the nuts and bolts holding the throttle body to the intake manifold using a wrench on the manifold side of the inserts to prevent the inserts from rotating in the manifold casting.
13. Remove the throttle body assembly.

Notice: Do not use solvent of any type when cleaning the gasket surfaces on the intake manifold and the throttle body assembly, as damage to the gasket surfaces and throttle body assembly may result.

Use care in cleaning the gasket surfaces on the intake manifold and the throttle body assembly, as sharp tools may damage the gasket surfaces.
14. Clean the gasket surface on the intake manifold and the throttle body assembly.

1. Install the new gasket, and new inserts and studs if necessary.
2. Install the throttle body assembly.
3. Install the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts (3).

Tighten
Tighten the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts to 10 N·m (7 lb ft).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.




4. Install the accelerator control and cruise control cables to the accelerator cable bracket at the throttle body



5. Install the accelerator control and cruise control cables to the throttle body lever.

Important: The throttle should operate freely without binding between full closed and wide open throttle. Refer to Accelerator Controls .

6. Check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating the accelerator pedal. Also check for poor carpet fit under the accelerator pedal.
7. Install the electrical harness retainer clip and harness to the accelerator control cable bracket.
8. Install the vacuum lines to throttle body as noted on removal.



9. Remove the IAC sensor electrical connector.



10. Remove the MAF sensor electrical connector.
11. Remove the TP sensor electrical connector.
12. Install the air intake tube.
13. Refill the radiator to replace the lost coolant.



14. Install the injector sight shield.
