2005 Toyota Solara Throttle Body Parts Q&A

• Q: How to replace the throttle body on 2005 Toyota Solara?

  A: The replacement process for the throttle body must begin with draining engine coolant first. Perform the operation by first taking off the air cleaner cap and the air cleaner hose. Start by disconnecting throttle control and throttle position sensor wiring connections together with the vacuum line and two by-pass water hoses as well as the throttle body assembly. Start by detaching the four bolts before removing the fuel pipe support along with the throttle body itself and the gasket. The process of replacement starts by adding a new gasket to the intake manifold then installing the throttle body and fuel pipe support using four bolts while torquing them to 30 N.m (305 kgf.cm, 22 ft.lbf). Reinstallation requires connecting two water by-pass hoses and the throttle control motor and throttle position sensor connector along with the vacuum hose to the throttle body. Reinstall the air cleaner cap while securing the air cleaner hose and follow with engine coolant addition and leak verification of the engine system.
