1. Drain the coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling cooling and radiator.
2. Remove the fuel injection sight shield. Refer toFuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in engine mechanical.
3. Disconnect the IAT electrical connector and breather tube from the air intake tube.
4. Remove the air intake tube.



5. Disconnect the IAC valve electrical connector.



6. Disconnect the TP sensor electrical connector.
7. Disconnect the accelerator controls cable. Refer to Accelerator Control Cable Replacement .
8. Remove the accelerator controls cable bracket. Refer to Accelerator Control Cable Bracket Replacement .



9. Disconnect the throttle body coolant bypass hoses.
10. Disconnect the heater pipe nut at the throttle body.
11. Remove the nuts and bolts holding the throttle body to the intake manifold.
12. Remove the throttle body assembly.

Notice: Do not use solvent of any type when cleaning the gasket surfaces on the intake manifold and the throttle body assembly, as damage to the gasket surfaces and throttle body assembly may result.

1. Clean the gasket surface on the intake manifold and the throttle body assembly.
2. Install a new gasket, if necessary.
3. Reinstall the throttle body assembly.

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.

4. Reinstall the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts (3).

Tighten
Tighten the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts to 28 N·m (21 lb ft).

5. Connect the heater pipe nut at the throttle body.
6. Connect the throttle body coolant bypass hoses.



7. Connect the IAC valve electrical connector.



8. Connect the TP sensor electrical connector.
9. Reinstall the accelerator controls cable bracket. Refer to Accelerator Control Cable Bracket Replacement .
10. Connect the accelerator controls cable. Refer to Accelerator Control Cable Replacement .



11. Reinstall the air intake tube.
12. Connect the IAT Electrical connector and breather tube in the air intake tube.
13. Inspect and check for complete throttle opening and closing positions by operating the accelerator pedal.
14. Start the engine.
15. Refill the coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling cooling and radiator.
16. Check for coolant leaks.
17. Reinstall the fuel injection sight shield. Refer toFuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in engine mechanical.
