Tps and throttle body...

Is the throttle body asse,bly just bolted on?

I want to take the whole thing off one of these days, and clean it extremely well...Along with replacing the TPS sensor. Anyone have pics of the disassembly process....I cant mess up with pics:goodfinge

Replaced the TPS and cleaned the throttle body earlier today. Holy crap, What a difference. I have been trying to pinpoint the exact reason acceleration from a stop or in first gear was so bad for about the last 3 or 4 months.

The throttle body was gross behind the butterfly valves..Black and probably 1/8 inch build up. I just cleaned it 3 months ago, But you cant get it as clean as it needs to be while its attached to the truck.

The tps was worn looking.. the plastic was showing age from 9 1/2 years of use. The heat was startint to take its toll i believe.


Anyway, It was well worth it. The TPS was 28.99 from Discount, and a bottle of CRC air intake cleaner. Total was about $33, and an hour or so, Including time to take refuge from the sun.

Mucho difference.

I havent had coolant lines on my tb for over a year, Spliced them together forever ago. Also, I used throttle body approved cleaner, Not Carb cleaner.:goodfinge
