    Notice: Use care when cleaning the old gasket from the aluminum surfaces in order to prevent damage to the sealing surfaces.

  1. Clean the gasket mating surface on the intake manifold.

    2. Notice: Do not subject a throttle body assembly which contains the following components to an immersion cleaner or a strong solvent:

       • Throttle position (TP) sensor
       • Idle air control (IAC) valve
       • Sealed throttle shaft bearings
    The cleaners will damage the electric components or sensors.

    The cleaners will damage some of these components that contain seals or O-rings.
