03 Vibe throttle body cleaning

Post by JustinoBambino »

Can someone explain how to remove/disconnect the throttle cable from the throttle body on a 2003 Vibe with the base engine? The videos and instructions I have found are for newer models that don't have the cable. That is the step that I am stuck on before cleaning the throttle body.


Thanks,
Justin

Welcome to genvibe!

If you need to disconnect the cable, there's a pin at the end of the cable that goes in a round slot on the cam. Rotate the cam and you can slide the pin off of the cam. Don't forget the IACV while you have the TB off...
