PROCEDURE
1. Record the radio presets and disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the intake air temperature sensor.
3. Remove the air intake tube at the throttle body.
 | 4. Remove the four throttle body mounting bolts. Then remove the throttle body from the intake manifold and place to the side.
5. Check the condition of the throttle body-to-intake manifold o-ring and replace if necessary. 6. Clean mating surfaces of throttle body and intake manifold. |
 | 7. Apply a small diameter bead (about 1 mm) of RTV to the intake manifold-to-throttle body joint, inboard of the o-ring. The RTV is to be applied to the lower section of the joint between the lower two throttle body bolt attachment holes as shown.
8. Reinstall the throttle body. Tighten the four attachment bolts to 60 in lbs (7 Nm). 9. Wipe off all excessive RTV from the inside of the joint. 10. Reinstall the air intake tube at the throttle body. |
