Removal
Step 1
Step 2
Remove Throttle Cable – While holding the cable, push & turn the quarter circle piece on the throttlebody so you can get some slack in the cable. The end of the cable has a round knobby thing on it holding it into the quarter circle bracket. Use the slack in the cable to turn the knobby piece so that it & the cable slide out of the quarter circle bracket.
Step 3
Remove Vacuum Block – This piece just unsnaps – be gentle.
Step 4
Remove Wiring Plug from Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve – Pretty straightforward unplug job – little clip on the side.
Step 5
Remove 2 Bolts – Use a ratchet & socket (metric – forget size) to remove these 2 bolts. Once they’re out, just carefully take the throttlebody off the car – it should be somewhat loose, but may stick to the gasket a bit.
Installation
Installation is the reverse of removal.
