Notice: Do not damage the MAF sensor screen. A damaged screen could restrict airflow and lead to a driveability concern.

1. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel Pressure Relief .



2. Remove the MAF sensor electrical connector (1) from the MAF sensor (2).
3. Remove the air cleaner intake duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Inlet Duct Replacement .



4. Remove the PCV valve fresh air tube.



5. Remove the cruise control cable (2) from the accelerator controls cable bracket (1).
6. Remove the accelerator cable (3) from the accelerator controls cable bracket (1).
7. Remove the cruise control cable (2) from the throttle body lever.



8. Remove the accelerator control cable (3) from the throttle body lever (2).



9. Remove the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector (1) from the IAC valve (4).
10. Remove the throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector (2) from the TP sensor (3).



11. Remove the fuel feed and return lines from the retainer (5) on the accelerator controls cable bracket. Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .



12. Remove the transaxle shift cable clip (1) from the accelerator controls cable bracket.



13. Remove the throttle body (2) from the water crossover (1).



14. Remove the accelerator controls cable bracket (3) from the throttle body (1).

Notice: Do not use a cleaner which contains methyl ethyl ketone. This extremely strong solvent may damage components and is not necessary for this type of cleaning.

Notice: The outlet of the air cleaner assembly and the MAF sensor inlet duct must line up when completely installed. Misalignment may cause incorrect airflow readings resulting in MIL illumination or a driveability concern. An improperly installed inlet duct assembly or air cleaner assembly may cause misalignment.

Important: DO NOT reuse the old throttle body gasket.

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.
