THROTTLE BODY
When servicing throttle body components, always
reassemble components with new O-rings and seals
where applicable (Fig. 2). Never use lubricants on
O-rings or seals, damage may result. If assembly of component is difficult, use water to aid assembly.
Use care when removing hoses to prevent damage to
hose or hose nipple.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE
WARNING: THE 3.3L AND 3.8L MPI FUEL SYSTEMS
ARE UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE OF AP-
PROXIMATELY 330 KPA (48 PSI). RELEASE FUEL
