• Q: How to replace the throttle body assembly on 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Starting the replacement process requires removal of both the air cleaner intake duct and heater outlet pipe. A shop towel should cover the Throttle Body opening so you can use shop air to blow away dirt accumulated at the bottom of the Throttle Body. Use a finger to pull up on the tac module electrical connector lock until it disconnects from the tac module. First unwrap the Throttle Body from the Intake Manifold by removing all Throttle Body bolts then pull it out. Keep the Intake Manifold opening sealed with a clean shop towel to block dirt accumulation during the procedure. Replace the Throttle Body studs only if replacement is needed. When reinstalling the Throttle Body studs after removal follow these steps: tighten each stud to 6 n.m (53 lb in) torque. Insert the Throttle Body onto the Intake Manifold before tightening it down with Throttle Body bolts at 10 n.m (89 lb in). Use a finger to push down the connector lock which secures the tac module electrical connector to the tac module. To finalize the replacement install the heater outlet pipe followed by the air cleaner intake duct.
