    2. • Throttle body
    • Throttle body adapter heater plate
    • Intake manifold
  2. Clean the following intake manifold areas in solvent.
    3. • Intake manifold gasket grooves
    • Intake manifold passages
    • Brake booster hose passage
    • EVAP solenoid passage
    • PCV vacuum hose passages
    • MAP sensor passage
    • Throttle body adapter heater plate

    Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

  3. Dry the intake manifold and throttle body adapter heater plate with compressed air.
