• Q: How to service and repair the throttle body on 2001 Toyota RAV4?

  A: The service and repair of the throttle body requires the engine coolant drain followed by disconnecting the VSV for EVAP from the air cleaner hose before removing the air cleaner hose. Service and repair of the throttle body requires disconnecting and removing it after disconnecting the throttle position sensor connector and the IAC valve connector and removing two water bypass hoses and the vacuum hose from the throttle body. First remove both the three bolts and fuel hose clamp and throttle body and its gasket from the intake manifold. The installation requires proper alignment of a new gasket protrusion against the intake manifold groove before attachment. Fasten the throttle body with three bolts secured by torque to 30 N.m (305 kg.cm, 22 ft.lb). Also fasten the fuel hose clamp with the bolts. First connect both throttle body water bypass hoses and vacuum hose before connecting the IAC valve connector and throttle position sensor connector to the throttle body. The procedure ends by installing the accelerator cable together with the air cleaner hose and VSV for EVAP while filling the engine coolant in the radiator.
