REMOVAL

Throttle Body:

INSTALLATION


1. Install the sensor, ensuring that the tab on the throttle shaft and the slot in the sensor are aligned.

CAUTION: Slide slot into position over the throttle shaft blade, then rotate the TP sensor CLOCKWISE to installed position. Failure to install the TP sensor in this manner may result in excessive idle speeds.
