• Q: How to service and repair the throttle body on 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: A proper procedure to work on throttle body components starts by removing the negative cable from the battery terminal for 90 seconds and requires this time to avoid seat belt pretensioner and Air Bag activation. Cleansing the engine coolant facilitates the removal of both the V-bank cover sub-assembly along with the intake air connector pipe. The first step includes removing the throttle body by disconnecting the throttle position sensor and control connector as well as the two water by-pass hoses and using bolt, nut, throttle body, gasket removal. Start by installing the new gasket along with the throttle body into position while screwing the three bolts and nut until reaching a torque of 14 N.m (142 kgf.cm, 10 ft.lbf). Next, connect the two water by-pass hoses and the throttle position sensor and control connector. Reinstall the intake air connector pipe together with the V-bank cover sub-assembly followed by connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal. System initialization must be completed after cable reconnection and the procedure includes adding engine coolant followed by scanning for engine coolant leakages.
