Throttle Body Removal.
Got 4 screws out, the ****** refused to come out none the less. I see the 3 main screws each 2 inches long, one inch screw that I removed from the side, I dont see any others. I feel one under the throttle body, but that feels like its on a little support beam, I strip the head trying to get it out. I sprayed it with WD40, I tried torching the $#%er and it doesnt come out. I put everything back together and gave up until ups comes with the new throttle body. Any one has done this or seen a picture step by step?
It seemed to run fine, but the CEL would go on and off. When it finally went on and stayed on, I had Autozone check the codes. I can't remember exactly what the codes read, but it wasn't specific as "MAF Error". It was enough to know it was either the MAF or the O2 sensors. I tried cleaning the MAF, which didn't work. I bought a re-manufactured MAF for $80 bucks or so (the new ones are so expensive it's criminal). That shut off the CEL for about a week, then it came back on. I replaced both O2 sensors, and haven't had the problem since, about 8 months.
