The GSP Extreme Throttle Body Spacer is very easy to install, can be done in minutes and requires no special tools to do. Before you begin, please make sure you have the following: |
|
 |
1. Begin the installation of your new Throttle Body Spacer by disconnecting the negative lead from your battery. You will need a 1/2" wrench to do this. |
 |
2. Using a flathead screw driver, loosen the clamp securing your air intake tube to your air cleaner and throttle body. Then, detach the smaller CCV tube which is attached to the middle of your air intake tube. Remove the air intake tube from your engine compartment. |
 |
3. There are 3 electrical connetions attached to your throttle body that will need to be unplugged at this time. To do this, squeeze on the plastic tab and pull firmly. This might be a little tough at first but it will come free. Do not use any tools to remove these plugs as they might damage them. |
 |
4. Detach the throttle cable, cruise control cable and throttle return spring. The throttle cable is just snapped into place and should pop off with a little effort. If you look carefully, the cruise control connector is simply slid on and will come off with ease. |
 |
5. Using a 10mm socket and 6" ratchet extension, remove the 4 bolts securing the throttle body to your intake manifold. |
 |
6. Carefully remove the throttle body and gasket material from your intake manifold. Make special effort not to let anything fall into the intake manifold. Take your throttle body to a work bench and thoroughly clean it out using carburetor cleaner and a clean rag. |
 |
7. Spray a little carburetor cleaner onto a rag and carefully wipe the mating surface on your intake manifold. Again, make sure nothing falls inside. Place one of your new gaskets onto the mating surface of the manifold, place your new Throttle Body Spacer on top of it and then top it off by placing the second new gasket on top of it. |
 |
8. Slip the new washers onto the new bolts that came with your kit and insert them into the holes of your throttle body. Then, carefully place the whole thing on top of your new Throttle Body Spacer. Loosely thread on the new bolts finger tight. |
 |
9. Open up your throttle plate by hand and look down into the throttle body to make sure everything is aligned evenly. Make any adjustment needed at this time. |
 |
10. Using an inch pound torque wrench, secure your throttle body bolts to 100 in. lbs. in a criss-cross pattern. You do not want to over tighten these bolts as you might damage the threads on your intake manifold. |
 |
11. Reconnect your throttle cable, cruise control cable, the 3 electrical plugs, air intake tube and last but not least, your negative battery lead. |
