• Q: How to remove the throttle body assembly on 2008 Toyota Prius?

  A: When uninstalling the throttle body assembly from 1NZ-FXE engine control system begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable terminal with at least 90 seconds minimum to prevent seat belt pretensioner and Air Bag activation. Beginning this procedure requires users to eliminate the engine under cover LH and proceed with draining the engine coolant. The next step requires the removal of the radiator support opening cover after unfastening all 6 clips. The process of removing the air cleaner assembly starts with MAF meter connector and wire harness removal from the clamp before loosening the hose clamp bolt to disconnect the No. 1 air cleaner inlet followed by unfastening 2 bolts and then removing the air cleaner by loosening the final hose clamp bolt. When working on the throttle body assembly with motor detach the ventilation hose and each of the three fuel vapor feed hoses along with water by-pass hoses together with throttle control motor connector and throttle position sensor connector. Use the required tool to unfasten the bolt and 2 nuts and throttle with motor body components then put the gasket from the intake manifold to one side.
