Default 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?

I did the same thing. Replaced the O2 sensors next, and that solved the problem.

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.
