Throttle Body: Removal: 3.7L

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Using a diagnostic scan tool, record any previous DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
CAUTION: Never have the ignition key in the ON position when checking the throttle body shaft for a binding condition. This may set DTC's.

A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw.  All idle speed functions are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
