• Q: How to replace the throttle body assembly on 2006 Cadillac DTS?

  A: Starting the Throttle Body assembly replacement requires the removal of the fuel injector sight shield followed by disconnecting the pcv fresh air tube quick connect fittings at both camshaft cover and air cleaner outlet duct positions before removing the pcv fresh air tube. The first step requires removal of the duct from the Throttle Body by loosening the air cleaner outlet duct clamp at the Throttle Body and from the maf/iat sensor by loosening the clamp at the mass air flow/intake air temperature sensor. Disconnect the throttle actuator's engine harness electrical connector before removing the transaxle vent hose clip and transaxle shift cable clip from the shift cable bracket. First disconnect the Throttle Body bolts followed by the shift cable bracket and Throttle Body before discarding the Throttle Body seal. Initial installation requires the use of a new Throttle Body seal followed by Throttle Body positioning alongside the shift cable bracket before torqueing the Throttle Body bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). First install the shift cable bracket's transaxle shift cable clip followed by the transaxle vent hose clip before connecting the engine harness electrical connector to the throttle actuator and installing the air cleaner outlet duct to the vehicle and maf/iat sensor and Throttle Body. You should fasten air cleaner outlet duct clamps at both Throttle Body and maf/iat sensor locations with the torque setting at 3 n.m (27 lb in). Finish the replacement process by installing the pcv fresh air tube which must run below the vacuum brake booster hose and the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge valve. Then connect the quick connectors at the camshaft cover and the air cleaner outlet duct and reinstall the fuel injector sight shield.
