11. Remove the nut (2) from the air injection pipe (1), if applicable.



12. Remove the throttle body support bracket.



13. Remove the nuts and the bolts that hold the throttle body to the intake manifold. Use a wrench on the manifold side of the inserts in order to prevent the inserts from rotating in the manifold casting.
14. Remove the throttle body assembly.
15. Clean the gasket surface on the intake manifold and on the throttle body assembly.

Important: The throttle should operate freely without binding between full closed throttle and wide open throttle.

1. Install the new gasket, and install the new inserts and the studs, if necessary.
2. Install 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. Connect the electrical harness retainer clip (1) and harness (2) to the accelerator control cable bracket (3).



5. Install the air injection pipe (1) to the throttle body, if applicable.

Tighten
Tighten the nut (2) to 10 N·m (7 lb ft).




6. Connect the vacuum line to throttle body.



7. Connect the IAC valve sensor electrical connector.



8. Connect the MAF sensor electrical connector.



9. Connect the TP sensor electrical connector.
10. Install the air intake tube.
11. Refill the radiator in order to replace the lost coolant. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling in Cooling and Radiator.



12. Install the injector sight shield. Refer to Fuel Injector Sight Shield Replacement in Engine Mechanical.

16. Remove the 3 nuts and bolts that hold the throttle body to the supercharger.
17. Remove the throttle body assembly.



18. If you are replacing the throttle body, remove the accelerator controls cable bracket. Refer to Accelerator Control Cable Bracket Replacement .

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.

Use care in cleaning the gasket surfaces on the intake manifold and the throttle body assembly, as sharp tools may damage the gasket surfaces.
19. Clean the gasket surface on the supercharger and on 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.
