carefully remove the air inlet tube from the vehicle. (See Photo #1).

3. Carefully disconnect the throttle position sensor and idle speed control solenoid

connectors from the throttle body and disconnect the EGR position sensor connector
from the EGR valve. (See Photo #2).

4. Carefully disconnect the EGR vacuum line from the EGR valve. Loosen the two hose

clamps located on the EGR spacer that hold the throttle body coolant hoses and

remove hoses. (See Photo #3). Disconnect throttle linkage.

body coolant hoses when removed.

5. Remove the four (4) throttle body attaching nuts and carefully remove the throttle

body and EGR spacer assembly from the upper intake manifold studs. (See Photo #4).

spacer and enlarge upper manifold mouth accordingly. Most aftermarket intake

manifolds including Edelbrock's part #3821 are already sized to 70mm.

7. Remove the idle speed solenoid and install on the new throttle body. (Use supplied

idle solenoid gasket). Transfer EGR valve to new EGR plate. (Use supplied gasket).

rubber inlet tube and push onto the throttle body. Tighten the clamps firmly. Connect
battery negative terminal.

11. The Idle speed and TPS are set to the factory settings . If you have modified your

engine, additional adjustments may be required. Set the idle speed by using the

following sequence: (about 625 Rpm)
