  Q: How to service the throttle body on Ford Thunderbird?

  A:

  Uphold the cleaning procedure by removing the air cleaner outlet pipe as your first task. Start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the Throttle Position Sensor from its TP sensor location while also unconnecting the electronic throttle body motor electrical connector from its electronic throttle body position. The staff should disconnect the throttle feed hose and clamp assembly from the electronic throttle body before setting it aside. The team should also perform this separation on the throttle return hose and clamp assembly. The four bolts securing the electronic throttle body need removal before replacing the intake manifold-to-electronic throttle body gasket. For the new electronic throttle body installation you should tighten every bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) then place a new intake manifold-to-electronic throttle body gasket. The installation finishes by repeating the opposite procedure of removal steps.

  Q: What safety precautions should be taken when servicing the throttle body on Ford Thunderbird?

  A:

  Avoid both smoking and open flames near the fuel-related components since active mixtures present in the throttle body can cause severe injuries to people. The throttle body bore along with plate area contain a special coating that remains untouchable during cleaning operations. The first step begins with separating the throttle body from the air cleaner outlet tube followed by disconnection of the Throttle Position (TP) sensor electrical connector and throttle body linkages that require separation of speed control actuator cable and Accelerator Cable. You should remove the throttle body after unscrewing its four bolts before extracting both the throttle body and its gasket so discard the gasket. The installation procedure requires reverse order removal steps together with utilization of a fresh throttle body gasket.
