Kia 3510023701 Throttle Body Assembly

Before you work on 1998 and later Spectra models, start by taking out the air intake tube's resonator. The wire clasp that holds the TP sensor and IAC valve electrical connections needs to be gently pushed before pulling them apart. Unhook the fresh air hose from the throttle body, unlock the clamps, then pull off the two coolant hoses attached beneath the throttle body. Bend and pinch the two coolant hoses attached to the bottom part of the throttle body, open the spring clamp style clamps, and take the hoses off, knowing you'll deal with some leaking coolant. Free the accelerator cable from the throttle body. Remove nuts that hold mountings between the intake manifold and the throttle body to be able to pull off the throttle body. Wipe off all old gasket material from both the throttle body and intake manifold. You can decide to remove the Idle Air Control valve from the throttle body. First use a carburetor cleaner to clean the throttle body bore, focusing on the bottom side of the throttle valve. Be careful not to spray the carb cleaner on any sensors as this will damage them. Reattach the throttle body backward from how you took it off. Before attaching, apply new gaskets and tighten the mounting bolts to the listed torque. Once you put back the parts, check the coolant level and fill it if needed. Then straighten out your accelerator cable, and fire up the engine to see if air or coolant leaks show up.

Start by removing the air intake duct resonator off all 1998 and newer Sportage vehicles. Loosen the wire locking rings on the connections to the Throttle Position (TP) sensor and Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, then take off those connectors. Start by disconnecting the hose from the EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve into the throttle body. Pull the two coolant hoses attached to the throttle body's bottom off and loosen both spring clamps. Disconnect both hoses carefully while bracing for possible coolant leaks. Separate the accelerator cable from the throttle body, unscrew all bolts holding the throttle body, and pull it free from its place on the intake manifold. Drop the worn-out gasket from the connection between the throttle body and intake manifold. Also take care to wipe off any gasket material left behind from both mating surfaces. When you want, you can take the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve out of the throttle body. Wipe out the throttle valve area and the throat where it plows the intake air with carb cleaner to prepare the old throttle body for reuse. Avoid spraying any sensors or carb cleaner. You need to put the throttle body back on, sandwiched between new gaskets, and then bolt it tight by the original bolt specification. Make sure your engine is running before checking and adding coolant if needed. Next, adjust the gas pedal as required. Finally, test your car to ensure there are no leaks.
