• Q: How to replace the throttle body assembly on 2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT?

  A: First, make sure not to immerse any electronic throttle control parts in cleaners, or hold open the throttle plate with tools, because this could wreck the internal wedge. Start by taking out the air cleaner outlet duct, then take off the electrical connector from the engine wiring harness that cycles the electronic throttle control. Subsequently, loosen and take out the Throttle Body nuts (507) and bolts (538), then take out the Throttle Body (508) and get rid of the gasket (509). At installation, put the new Throttle Body Gasket on the Intake Manifold and line up the tab with the notch. Secure the Throttle Body (508), using the bolts (538) and nuts (507), then tighten them all to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Look to see that the seal on the engine wiring harness electrical connector for the electronic throttle control is undamaged and attach the electrical connector . Put the air cleaner outlet duct back in place and use a scan tool to check the throttle range. Make sure you can move the accelerator pedal easily from being fully closed to being fully open. Check that the engine power is normal, ignition is on and engine is not running before beginning the engine and looking for coolant leaks.
