• Q: How to service and repair the throttle body on 2000 Toyota RAV4?

  A: The first step for servicing and repairing the throttle body includes draining the engine coolant from its reservoir. The throttle cable from the throttle body requires removal first for automatic transmission models before proceeding with accelerator cable removal. Begin by removing the throttle body through the disconnecting process of both the throttle position sensor connector and the IAC valve connector. After removing the air cleaner cap assembly proceed with the throttle body removal. The service begins with removing four hoses that connect to the throttle body starting with the PCV hose from the air tube followed by the vacuum hose from port "R" of the EGR vacuum modulator and completing with the vacuum hose from port "P" of the EGR vacuum modulator and an additional vacuum hose. The throttle body requires three bolts removal along with the gasket before separating it from the intake manifold yet maintaining 19 Nm (195 kg.cm, 14 ft.lb) of torque force. When installing the gasket on the intake chamber maintain the protruding portion directed towards the bottom. Dispose of the air hose and water bypass hose from its respective ports on the manifold while also removing the water bypass hose from its water outlet. The installation process follows the exact opposite sequence of unmounting procedures.
