2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder Throttle Body Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the throttle body on 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: The process of throttle body repair starts with draining engine coolant while also removing the suspension upper brace. The service requires disconnecting the VSV for the EVAP hose and separate removal of the VSV for the EVAP with its air cleaner hose. The throttle body can be removed after detaching the accelerator cable and dislocating the throttle position sensor connector and throttle control motor connector and the PCV hose and two water bypass hoses. First disconnect the two bolts that secure the throttle body bracket before removing the two throttle body bolts and the two nuts holding the throttle body. You can also discard the two gaskets from the intake manifold. During the replacement procedure disconnect the connector that controls accelerator position sensor operation. Two new gaskets should go onto the intake manifold followed by plugging in the accelerator position sensor connector and installing the throttle body with two bolts and two nuts which require 30 N.m (305 kgf.cm, 22 ft.lbf) torque. The throttle body bracket gets attached with two bolts reaching a torque of 49 N.m (500 kgf.cm, 36 ft.lbf) while also connecting the two water bypass hoses and PCV hose to the throttle body. The engine control motor and throttle sensor connectors should be connected first before adding the accelerator cable into its designated position. The installation of the EVAP VSV using the air cleaner hose must be completed first before moving on to the EVAP VSV hose installation. The radiator requires engine coolant after reinstalling the suspension upper brace.
