When it comes to maintaining your car, replacing the throttle body is a crucial aspect. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of replacing a throttle body.
Using an eight millimeter socket or a flat head screwdriver, start by disconnecting the clamps and hoses to remove the intake unit.
Loosen the engine cover and the hose clamp, and remove the bolt using a 10 millimeter socket.
Pull the intake tube off the air box and lift up to separate the unit. Pinch the tab to disconnect and set it aside.
Ensure you have an etc scan tool to program the relearn for the throttle body. If not, have a local shop perform the job for you.
Lift up on the red tab, pinch the connector, and remove the harness from the throttle body using an eight millimeter deep socket to remove the bolts.
Clean the face of the gasket on the intake before placing the new throttle body. Align and secure the new throttle body, torque the bolts, and reconnect the connector.
When reinstalling the air box, ensure proper alignment with the connector and the intake temp sensors. Secure all bolts and tighten the hose clamps.
Slide the engine cover back in, line it up, and press it down on the mounting studs.
With these steps completed, you have successfully replaced the throttle body on your car.
