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 air cleaner intake duct.
3. Remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve fresh air tube.



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



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



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



10. Remove the fuel feed and return lines from the retainer (5) on the accelerator controls cable bracket.



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



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



13. 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.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

Important: Do not reuse the old throttle body gasket.




1. Install the accelerator cable bracket (3) to the throttle body (1).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).




2. Position the new throttle body gasket on to the throttle body.

4. Install the IAC valve electrical connector (1) to the IAC valve (4).
5. Install the TP sensor electrical connector (2) to the TP sensor (3).



6. Install the accelerator control cable (3) at throttle body lever (2).



7. Install the cruise control cable (2) at throttle body lever.
8. Install the accelerator cable (3) to the accelerator controls cable bracket (1).
9. Install the cruise control cable to accelerator controls cable bracket (1).



10. Install the transaxle shift cable (1) clip to the accelerator controls cable bracket.



11. Install the fuel feed and return lines from the retainer (5) on to the accelerator controls cable bracket.
12. Install the air cleaner intake duct clamp to the air cleaner intake air duct.
