2008 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the throttle body on 2008 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Placing a new throttle body gasket on the intake air surge tank is the first step for installing the throttle body to the 2GR-FE engine control system. The throttle w/motor body assembly and wire harness clamp stay need to be fixed to the intake air surge tank through 4 bolts with a torque specification of 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf). After connecting the throttle w/ motor body assembly connector, you can install the 2 water by-pass hoses onto their designated areas of the assembly. Insert the air cleaner cap which also receives the air cleaner hose attachment. Connect the cable to the negative battery terminal after which some systems need an automatic initialization process before reconnecting. You should insert engine coolant into the system followed by leak tests of the coolant. End the process by putting in place the throttle body sub-assembly while conducting a thorough check of the throttle function.
