Anyone have directions on taking off the throttle body off. It needs cleaned and so does my FITV but I don't know how to disconnect the throttle from the throttle body. And also will I need to but a new gasket? Its a D16Z6

Thanks,

es it's goo to get a new gasket...

First you want to unplug your Map sensor on top ot the throttle body, the tps on the firewall side of the throttle body. Keep in mind and remember which plug is which as they are similar.. just one reaches up top for the map.

next disconnect the hose on top of the Throttle body.

Now you disconnect your coolant lines attached to the FITV and the one attached to the trhottle body pointing to the fire wall that goes to the IACV. Just disconnct one side dont have to pull it from the IACV..

Next is the throttle cable. Bracket holding it down with 2 Bolts. 10mm takes those out. gives u slack to move the cable off the plate. just pull it around to the little slit on the the plate and push the lil end through.

Now thats out. Now 4 14mm nuts hold the TB in place removethose and your good to go.

ReINstall in reverse of all this.

Good luck

There's 4 bolts holding the TB on to the Intake Manifold.

Unplug the sensors on the TB, then remove the throttle cable by holding the throttle open by hand (engine off of course) and then that releases the tension on the throttle cable so you can undo it from the throttle body.

have a new gasket ready just in case the old one gets ripped. Plus they are more likely to leak when re-used.
