Throttle Body Assembly Replacement VIN K
Removal Procedure
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.

.
- Disconnect the electrical harness retainer clip (1) and harness (2)
from the accelerator control cable bracket (3).
- Disconnect the vacuum
line from the throttle body.
- Remove the throttle body
support bracket (VIN K only).
- 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 (VIN K only).
- Remove the throttle body
assembly.
- Clean the gasket surface on the intake manifold and the throttle
body assembly.
Installation Procedure
Important: The throttle should operate freely without binding between full Closed
and Wide Open Throttle.
- Install the new gasket,
and new inserts and studs if necessary (VIN K only).
- Install the throttle body assembly.
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.
- Install the throttle body retaining
nuts and bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts to 10 N·m
(7 lb ft).
- Install the accelerator
controls cable bracket. Refer to
Accelerator Control Cable Bracket Replacement
.
- Connect the accelerator
control cables. Refer to
Accelerator Control Cable Replacement
.
- Check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating
the accelerator pedal. Also, check for poor carpet fit under the accelerator
pedal.
- Connect the electrical harness retainer clip (1) and harness (2) to
the accelerator control cable bracket (3).
- Connect the vacuum line
to the throttle body.
- Connect the IAC valve sensor electrical connector.
- Connect the MAF sensor
electrical connector.
- Connect the TP sensor
electrical connector.
- Install the air intake tube.
- Refill the radiator to replace the lost coolant. Refer to
Cooling System Draining and Filling
in Engine Cooling.
- Install the injector sight
shield. Refer to
Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement
in Engine Mechanical.
