Chevrolet K1500 Throttle Body
The Throttle Body of Chevrolet K1500 automobiles regulates the air admitted into the cylinders, through a butterfly valve which is regulated by the accelerator pedal. Some outdated cars might have Throttle Body Injection (TBI) units while the latest cars have multi-port fuel injection systems. Mechanical linkage has however been mostly substituted by Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) that improves on the reliability as well as compatibility with other safety features. Bodies of throttles can be washed down or even replaced and other parts such as TPS sensors and IAC valves can easily be replaced. In summing up, it is worth stating that changes in throttle bodies denote the improvement in the utilization of engines and their management in Chevrolet K1500 automobiles.

Chevrolet K1500 Throttle Body Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to address a vacuum leak at the bottom of the throttle body on Chevrolet K1500?A:The TBI unit is attached to the top of the intake manifold by several bolts. These fasteners can sometimes work loose from vibration and temperature changes during normal engine operation and cause a vacuum leak. If you suspect that a vacuum leak exists at the bottom of the throttle body, obtain a length of hose. Start the engine and place one end of the hose next to your ear as you probe around the base with the other end. You will hear a hissing sound if a leak exists, but be careful of hot or moving engine components. Remove the air cleaner assembly, tagging each hose to be disconnected with a piece of numbered tape to make reassembly easier. Locate the mounting bolts at the top of the throttle body. Decide what special tools or adapters will be necessary, if any, to tighten the fasteners. Tighten the bolts to the torque, but don't overtighten them, as the threads could strip. If, after the bolts are properly tightened, a vacuum leak still exists, the throttle body must be removed and a new gasket installed. After tightening the fasteners, reinstall the air cleaner and return all hoses to their original positions.
