Important: The Throttle Position (TP) sensor, the fast idle air valve or any other components containing rubber should not be placed in a solvent or cleaner bath. A chemical reaction will cause these parts to swell, harden or distort. Do not soak the throttle body with the above parts attached. If the throttle body requires cleaning, soaking time in the cleaner should be kept to a minimum. Some models have hidden throttle shaft dust seals that could lose their effectiveness by extended soaking. These components should be cleaned in a cold immersion cleaner such as Carbon X (X-55) or equivalent.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

11. Remove the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose (8) from the air intake pipe.
12. Disconnect the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve air intake/hose (6) from air intake pipe.
13. Remove the three bolts (3) securing the intake air pipe.
14. Loosen the clamp (1) at the throttle body.
15. Remove the air intake pipe (2) from the throttle body.



16. Disconnect the throttle Position (TP) sensor electrical connector (2).
17. Remove the nut from the accelerator cable bracket (1).
18. Remove the bolt from the accelerator cable bracket (1).
19. Remove the screw from the accelerator cable bracket.
20. Remove the accelerator cable bracket (5) from the throttle body.
21. Disconnect the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) solenoid vacuum valve vacuum hose from the throttle body.
22. Disconnect the two coolant hoses (3) from the throttle body.
23. Remove the nut from the throttle body to the intake manifold (1).
24. Remove the bolt from the throttle body to the intake manifold (1).
25. Remove the throttle body and gasket from intake manifold (4).

Important: Do not remove the fast idle air valve from the throttle body. The fast idle air valve is not serviceable. The fast idle air valve is calibrated at the factory and is not adjustable.

Important The TP sensor, fast idle air valve or other components containing rubber must not be cleaned in a solvent or parts bath. A chemical reaction will occur that can cause the parts to swell, harden or distort.

1. Remove the two screws from the Throttle Position (TP) sensor to the throttle body.
2. Remove the Throttle Position (TP) sensor from the throttle body.
3. Clean the passages by blowing with compressed air. Do not use drills or wires, these may damage the passages.
4. Clean all of the metal parts thoroughly and blow dry with shop air.
5. Be sure that all fuel and air passages are free of dirt or burns.

1. Install the TP sensor to throttle body.
2. Secure the TP sensor with two screws. Do not tighten fully.

1. Install the new gasket and the throttle body to the intake manifold (4).

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.
