Throttle Body
- Before installing idle air control valve, measure distance that valve extends from motor housing. Measure from gasket mounting surface to end of pintle. Distance should not exceed 1-1/8" (28 mm). See Fig 1.
- On air control valve with collar on electrical connector, exert firm pressure on pintle while moving pintle from side to side until distance is correct.
- On air control valve without collar on connector, compress pintle retaining spring while turning pintle inward with a clockwise motion. Return spring to original position with straight portion of spring end aligned with flat surface of valve.
- Invert throttle body assembly and place on clean, flat surface. Install idle air control valve and gasket. Tighten valve to 13 ft. lbs. (18 N.m). Place throttle body on holding fixture.
- Install throttle position sensor. Make sure throttle position sensor pick-up lever is ABOVE tang on throttle actuator lever. Use Loctite on throttle position sensor attaching screws.
