• Q: How to remove the throttle body on 2008 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Starting the procedure to remove the throttle body from the 2AZ-FE engine control system requires draining the engine coolant first. Before beginning the negative battery terminal disconnect procedure it is essential to wait at least 90 seconds to stop Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. The removal of No. 1 engine cover starts with unfastening two nuts. The air cleaner cap removal procedure starts by disconnecting the mass air flow meter connector along with the purge VSV connector and 4 wire harness clamps. Disconnection of the No. 2 ventilation hose from the air cleaner hose and purge line hose from the clamp completes the process. To access the throttle body the technician should first apply the No. 1 air cleaner clamp while disconnecting its hose from the throttle body before removing the 2 hook clamps and taking out the air cleaner cap and its filter element from the air filter housing. Remove the throttle body by disconnecting the purge line hose together with the water by-pass hose and the No. 2 water by-pass hose and the No. 1 throttle body hose from its position. During the service procedure the mechanic must disconnect the throttle position sensor and control motor connector as well as the wire harness clamp and the fuel tube from the clamp. Finishing the operation involves removing the gasket from the intake manifold after you disassemble the fuel pipe support and throttle body with their four bolts.
