Throttle Body Assembly Replacement

REMOVAL PROCEDURE




1. Remove the air intake duct.




2. Disconnect the accelerator control cable and the cruise control cable from the throttle body.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the throttle body.




4. Disconnect the TP sensor and IAC valve electrical connectors.




5. Disconnect the coolant hose from the throttle body.




6. Disconnect the coolant hose from the vapor vent pipe.




7. Remove the throttle body attaching nuts.
8. Remove the throttle body and the gasket. Discard the gasket.

NOTE: In order to prevent damage to the sealing surfaces, carefully use sharp tools in cleaning the old gasket from the aluminum surfaces.

IMPORTANT:
^ Do Not soak the throttle body in cold immersion type cleaner. The throttle valve has a factory applied sealing compound (DAG material is applied to the outside edge of the valve and the throttle bore) to prevent air bypass at closed throttle. Strong solvents or brushing will remove the material. To clean the throttle body following disassembly, use a spray type cleaner such as GM X-66A or GM 1052626. Use a shop towel to remove heavy deposits.
^ The TP sensor and the IAC valve are electrical components and should NOT come in contact with solvent or cleaner, as damage may result.

9. Clean the gasket sealing surfaces.
