2002 Toyota RAV4 Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the throttle body on 2002 Toyota RAV4?

  A: The service process requires draining engine coolant before removing the VSV for EVAP from the air cleaner hose and the subsequent removal of the air cleaner hose. The service starts by removing the throttle body after disconnecting the accelerator cable and removing the throttle position sensor connector then the IAC valve connector and two water bypass hoses and vacuum hose from the throttle body. You need to unfasten the three bolts and fuel hose clamp and the throttle body and gasket and intake manifold in that order. The new gasket requires positioning with its protrusion into the intake manifold groove before installation. The following installation process involves installing the throttle body with fuel hose clamp through three bolts reaching a torque specification of 30 N.m (305 kg.cm, 22 ft.lb) while securing the water bypass hoses and vacuum hose to the throttle body along with the IAC valve connector and throttle position sensor connector. The installation process includes attaching the accelerator cable along with installing the air cleaner hose and the VSV for EVAP and radiator engine coolant refilling.
