Any one who has ever taken off thier throttle body can help. I've been trying to take my throttle body off for hours! people say its only 4 bolts, but i see three more (for the accelerator and cruisecontrol) I've already dropped a socket, the spring, and a screw down the engine, so i'm asking you...how the hell does this thing come off!?!?!

As best I remember, there are the 3 for the deal that mounts all the throttle and cruise control cables, then the 4 for the TB. That's all it takes.

thanks man (5 stars it is )...i got it....i was just flustered cuase i had dropped two sockets, and two screws and the spring for the throttle linkage return down in that forest of vacum hoses and AC lines. I also was having a very hard time fitting my ratchet in there while being carful not to bend the throttle cable...I was frustrated and looking for a quick way to solve my building poblems...any way, a whip from my grandfather's telescopic magnet took car of those dropped parts, and now its all better, the car drives like night and day! see my pics in my new post!
before and after!
