Install the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts. Tighten the throttle body retaining nuts and bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. Connect the throttle body coolant by-pass hoses. Connect the heater pipe nut at the throttle body. Connect the IAC valve electrical connector. Connect the TP sensor electrical connector.
  3. Install the accelerator controls cable bracket. Connect the accelerator cable cross slug to the throttle body lever. Connect the cruise control cable to the throttle body lever. Install the air intake tube and tighten the clamps. Connect the IAT sensor electrical connector.
  4. Connect the breather tube to the air intake tube. Refill the cooling system. See COOLING SYSTEM BLEEDING  under COOLING SYSTEM.
