Accessing throttle chamber

I was trying to get to the throttle body, and the pipe that leads to it does not move, is there a bolt that holds it down? I followed the Haynes manual step by step, but that pipe does not give enough movement so I can access the throttle body.

Re: Accessing throttle chamber

just loosen the clamps and keep yanking. it gets hard and non-pliable after years of heat. try prying with a screwdriver against the tb. I had to cut one off and replaced it with a new one (brand vulco, i can find out diameter for you tomorrow or you can bring your old one to a parts place to get correct size)

just to be clear - i am referring to the black hose that connects intake pipe to throttle body.

the intake pipe is held on with 2 screws on non-turbo's, and held on with clamp at the turbo and a 10mm bolt to a bracket on turbo cars.

Re: Accessing throttle chamber

Here is a pic of what I was working on. I disconnected the cable on the side of the throttle body, loosened the screws but the pipe on the left would not budge, I thought I saw a screw clamping it down somewhere else, but I am not sure. I was actually able to pull the black covering over the pipe on the left just far enough to get a view inside, but thats it. I am afraid to yank anything else with any amount of force, but is that what I have to do? That 10mm bolt, is it down the left side of the pipe?

Re: Accessing throttle chamber

here's a pic of the location of hte things holding it on. it's usually REALLY hard to get off, but check the pic anyway to make sure you got the bolts that hold it off.
