• Q: How to Remove and Install a Throttle Body Without Altering Engine Idle Speed on 2000 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: The factory adjusted set screw on the throttle body controls the mechanical limits on the throttle plate which is important to avoid changing because all idle speed adjustments are run through the PCM. First, separate the air cleaner tube from the throttle body, then cut off the power cords at the MAP sensor, IAC motor and TPS. Remove next all the cables that are connected to the throttle body lever arm for more detailed steps; please visit the Accelerator Pedal and Throttle Cable part of the manual. After pulling out the screws on the throttle body, remove the throttle body from the intake manifold, getting rid of the old gasket. To install, first clean the areas where the throttle body meets the intake manifold, insert a new gasket and put the throttle body onto the manifold. Align the engine mounts, secure with bolts to 11 N.m (100 in. lbs.) and afterwards install the control cables and connectors for the air cleaner at the throttle body.
