Throttle Body: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
CAUTION:
DO NOT subject a throttle body assembly to an immersion cleaner or a strong solvent with electrical components or sensors attached. Solvents can also wash away or break down the grease used on non-serviceable throttle shaft bearings. DO NOT use a cleaner containing Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). MEK is very strong and can damage components. Never use a wire brush or scraper to clean the throttle body. A wire brush or sharp tools may damage throttle body components.
