Installation Inst ructions

1. Make sure the engine is completely cool and set the

parking brake on the vehicle.

2. Raise hood and check the throttle position sensor (TPS)

voltage. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but
do not turn on the engine. Use a digital vo lt/ohmmeter
and write down the voltage as a reference for
installation. The voltage should be approximately 0.5V
to 0.99 V.

3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
4. Remove air filter duct, all vacuum hoses, water

(coolant) hoses and electrical connectors from the stock
throttle body.

Note:

Engine coolant may run from the hoses once

removed.

5. Disconnect the throttle linkage by opening the throttle

manually and slipping the cable from the cam groove on
the linkage.

6. Remove the four nuts securing the throttle body to the

intake manifold and remove the factory throttle body.

7. Remove the throttle position sensor (TPS) from the

factory throttle body. You must carefully grind or file
away the heads of the rivets.

8. If the factory throttle body has a bypass valve at the

bottom install the supplied billet aluminum piece using
the bolts (3-M6 x 20mm) and gasket.

9. If the factory throttle body has a map sensor mounted

on the topside remove it and install it on the new throttle
body. Use the supplied screws (2-M 4 x 10mm) and
gasket. If not the supplied chrome back off plate must
be installed in this location with the supplied gasket and
screws (2-M4 x 10mm).

10. Install the throttle position sensor (TPS) on the new throttle

body using the supplied gasket and screws (M5 x 8mm).

Note:

To achieve maximum benefits you should match the

intake opening on the factory intake manifold to the size of
the new throttle body bore. The factory manifold should be
bored or hand grinded “OFF” the engine. Refer to the

l for removal and installation of the factory

intake. Use the gasket as a template to mark the manifold
for grinding.

11. Using the factory nuts and the supplied gasket install the

new throttle body on the factory intake manifold and
secure.

12. Slip the cable on the throttle linkage.

Note:

More slack may be needed on the linkage in order

for the butterfly to close completely.

13. Observe the throttle body while an assistant presses and

releases the gas pedal to ensure that the throttle plate both
opens and closes fully.

14. Reattach the air filter duct, all vacuum hoses, water

(coolant) hoses and electrical connectors on the new
throttle body.

15. Any unused vacuum ports on the new throttle body must

be plugged.

16. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition

switch to the ON position, but do not turn on the engine.
Adjust the throttle position sensor (TPS) to the stock
voltage by slightly loosening the mounting screws and
rotating the TPS to the desired voltage. Then retighten the
mounting screws.

17. Start the vehicle and check for loose connection or coolant

leaks, etc.

18. After the vehicle is warmed up check the idle speed (refer

to owners manual). If the idle is to low adjust it by turning
the bypass screw (gold screw 12 o’clock position from the
vacuum tube) counter clock wise with a flat blade
screwdriver.

19. Double-check the fasteners and clamps to ensure they are

all secure.
