Removal Procedure


    Object Number: 104644  Size: SH
  1. Drain the cooling system. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling .
  2. Remove the retaining bolt from the air cleaner resonator.
  3. Loose the duct clamp at the resonator.

  25. Remove the bolts retaining the accelerator controls cable bracket.
  26. Remove the accelerator controls cable bracket.

  27. Object Number: 19023  Size: SH
  28. Remove the following components:
  29. • The throttle body retaining bolts
    • The throttle body (1)
    • The gasket (2)
  30. Clean any gasket material from the throttle body spacer (3).

Installation Procedure

Important: 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.
