How to Service and Repair a Throttle Body on a 3.7L V6 Engine on Dodge Dakota?

Before working on the throttle body, use a diagnostic scan tool to see any error codes that have been recorded. Close the ignition before trying to move the throttle body shaft, because it could cause DTCs. There is a factory-fixed screw that limits the throttle plate and it should not be moved to control the engine's idle, as this is the job of the PCM. First, take off the negative battery cable from the battery. After that, pull out the air intake tube from the throttle body flange and also detach the throttle body electrical cable and any vacuum lines that need to be disconnected. After the cleaning, get rid of the four mounting bolts and separate the throttle body from the intake manifold. Always check the old o-ring between the throttle body and intake manifold before replacing them.

How to Install a Throttle Body on a 3.7L V6 Engine on Dodge Dakota?

Start by inspecting the O-ring on the throttle body-to-intake manifold and change it if you notice it is damaged. Thoroughly clean the surfaces that mates between the throttle body and the intake manifold, adding an O-ring between the two. Align the throttle body with the intake manifold and put on the bolts loosely. Never over-tighten the mounting bolts, as this can harm the throttle body, throttle plate, gaskets, bolts or intake manifold; the mounting bolts should be tightened to 7.5 Nm (65 in. lbs.) using a torque wrench. After that, add the electrical connector, needed vacuum lines and the air cleaner ducts to the throttle body. After that, link up the negative battery cable, run the diagnostic scan tool to delete old DTCs and run the ETC Relearn procedure.

The Throttle Body is an important component in the Dodge Dakota vehicles, it controls the air intake into the car engine and thus affects performance and efficiency. Located between the air cleaner and intake manifold it has a butterfly valve that opens and closes in accordance to accelerator pedal commands. Prior models of Dakota had Throttle Body Injection (TBI) that included fuel injectors that were part of the throttle body assembly, forming an economical way to leave behind carburation and embrace fuel injection. Modern Dodge Dakota vehicles use multi-port fuel injector systems, moreover, the vehicle Throttle Body interacts with many others including the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. This arrangement enables accurate regulation of air admission and fuel supply hence the improved engine performance. Also, to reduce the number of mechanical linkages incorporated into the Dakota models, many of them used the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC). In general, changes in the Throttle Body in Dodge Dakota are representative of progressive improvements in vehicle design aimed at achieving the optimal possible performance.
