How to: Throttle Bodies Removal 07-08

[harry-nyc]

After a lot of searching and coming up with no results I've put together a step-by-step how to on removing your throttle bodies. I may have forgotten a small step on unplugging one item here or there, but you'll be able to figure it out. Note, people in CA may have an additional step to remove some 5-way joint hoses (not shown below).

This will hopefully save you a headache and plenty of cursing.

why exactly would someone want to remove the throttle bodies?

Engine rebuild, cleaning or throttle cable replacement. It's much easier to access the cables with it removed.

Excellent explanation!! Just fitted a HRC quick action throttle kit to my RRA and got to the point of trying to work out how to remove the lower cable. Read your article and removed the throttle bodies and it is real easy. Stupidly refitted the stock cable and refitted the bodies but only took ten minutes to swap over. Overall lots of things to remove etc but pretty straight forward.

Thank you!!
Do you run a quick shift and if so which type?? I have a HM Plus and it is good but I detect a slight lurch on change up @ 13K
The kill duration is 65ms do I need to increase the kill duration to say 70 ms?
Any advice is welcome
