• Q: How to replace the throttle body assembly on 2006 GMC Sierra 1500?

  A: The process to replace the Throttle Body assembly stars with air cleaner outlet resonator removal. Subsequently detach the cruise control cable from engines and throttle pulleys. The first step involves removal of the accelerator control cable from both the accelerator control bracket and engine bracket and the accelerator control cable slug from the throttle pulley. First secure the cable brackets in place by removing their nuts before extracting the bracket while maintaining cable attachment. Place the cables safely out of the way. The throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector must be disconnected along with the idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector before removing the Throttle Body stud hardware and discarding the Throttle Body seal. Install the new Throttle Body seal then position the Throttle Body followed by tightening the Throttle Body studs to 9nm (80 lb in). Reconnect electrical wires of the tp sensor and iac valve before installing and fixing the bracket as well as cables to the Throttle Body by securing them to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Hook the accelerator control cable slug to the throttle pulley after which the cable should be routed from the engine bracket to the accelerator control bracket. You should connect the cruise control cable to both the engine bracket and throttle pulley and then secure the air cleaner outlet resonator stud to 10 n.m (89 lb in) before reattaching the air cleaner outlet resonator.
