    Q:
    How to check and replace Fuel Injector,Fuel Pressure Regulator,Throttle Body,Throttle Position Sensor,Intake Manifold and Idle Control Valve on Chevrolet Astro? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The CMFI or CSFI component tightly controls fuel supply in the engine located at the lower intake manifold center. Among other features, a CMFI system has an adjustable aluminum air intake plenum and one non-serviceable fuel injector unit; while a CSFI system comes with non-adjustable air intake plenum, six individually controlled fuel injectors and it incorporates a Mass Air Flow sensor. The PCM tracks various engine parameters by means of sensors and energizes the fuel pump briefly upon ignition. Fuel is delivered into cylinders via poppet nozzles in tubes by a high-pressure electric pump found inside the tank of the fuel regulated by a pressure regulator of fuel. This is accomplished by an Idle Air Control valve that regulates additional air flow. Multiple steps must be taken for upper intake manifold removal such as disconnecting battery, relieving fuel pressure, removing components as well as disconnecting different connectors together with hoses. Installations are done inversely to their removals. A similar procedure which involves disconnection of battery, relief from pressure on fuels and also taking away related components is used to remove CMFI as well as CFIS fuel injection units (CMFI). Fuel Injectors are inspected for faults and replaced if necessary. Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve checks resistance and operation during idle speed control checkups. Several steps for removal and installation including resetting IAC Valve are provided in this respect. Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (CMFI) must be checked for replacement when necessary. Fuel Injector Replacement (CSFI) calls for detachment of the fuel meter body from its installation place back again into it after fixing it up (CSIF). The Fuel Pressure Regulator (CSFI) would be replaced following o-ring replacement among other specific steps. Throttle Body Removal/Installation (CSFI): Disconnect various components , ensure proper cable operation etc. In details, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) checks involved backprobing, removal of mounting screws and alignment during installation.

    Q:
    What is the function of the Throttle Position (TP) Sensor on Cadillac Fleetwood? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The Throttle Position (TP) Sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle body, providing a voltage signal that changes with the throttle blade angle. The PCM calculates throttle position based on this signal, and fuel delivery is adjusted accordingly. Testing involves checking the connector for damage, measuring voltage at Terminal B (around 0.5 volts), smoothly operating the throttle to WOT (voltage should follow without exceeding 5 volts), and checking for proper ground and 5-volt reference signals. Removal of the TP sensor requires disconnecting the negative battery cable, removing the air cleaner, TP sensor connector, and TP sensor mounting bolts, followed by installing a new 0-ring on the TP sensor and reassembling. For the 4.6L engine, the throttle body assembly must be removed, and then the TP sensor can be detached, with the 0-ring discarded and a new one installed before reassembly.

    Q:
    How to remove and install Fuel Injector,Fuel Pressure Regulator,Throttle Body,Throttle Position Sensor and Idle Control Valve in Model 220 Throttle Body Injection on Chevrolet Astro? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Start by relieving system fuel pressure and disconnecting the battery's negative terminal to perform maintenance procedures on the throttle body assembly. After that, take off the air cleaner housing assembly, adapter, and gaskets. Regarding the Fuel Meter Cover/Fuel Pressure Regulator Assembly, unplug the electrical connectors to the fuel injectors and remove both long and short fuel meter cover screws, to allow for removal of fuel meter cover. Then take out the cover if there is any dirt on it; additionally one should replace such seals as a fuel meter outlet passage gasket, pressure regulator seal or a cover gasket and then clean up its surface if necessary. Eventually install new gaskets and seal as well as put back the fuel meter cover assembly having used Loctite 262 on all screws. Reinstall the electrical connectors to injectors together with battery cable while checking for leaks with engine off and ignition on prior to reinstalling the air cleaner housing assembly along with its adapter and gaskets. In case of Fuel Injector Assembly unconnect electrical connectors from fuel injectors, remove Fuel Meter Cover/Pressure Regulator Assembly and using a screwdriver gently take out them from their seats. The injector consists of upper O-rings, lower O-rings as well as filter which need inspection for dirt or contamination after being removed from an injector; therefore, use another part including an identical replacement injector while sliding in a new filter then lubricating or installing new O-rings before pushing it into a fuel meter body. When replacing an IAC valve, make sure that you unplug its electrical connector before undoing it with an adjustable wrench. Take away old IAC valve gasket that should be discarded afterwards leaving throttle body clean while making measurements at different pintle positions. Finally adjust pintle if required after putting back new gasket before returning IAC valve completely for correct torque specifications when installing it. Reconnect the electrical connector and install air cleaner housing assembly, adapter and gaskets. As for the Fuel Meter Body Assembly, disconnect electrical connectors from fuel injectors and remove Fuel Meter Cover/Pressure Regulator Assembly, Gaskets and Seals. Remove the fuel injectors, unscrew the fuel inlet and return line threaded fittings, detach lines with O-rings removed. After removing the fuel outlet nut or gasket as well as the inlet one, put on a new throttle body-to-fuel meter body gasket then place the fuel meter body assembly via throttle body. Before tightening these screws to not forget to apply thread locking compound on them; thus use thread locking compound on the attaching screws of the fuel meter body-to-throttle body assembly. Install new gaskets as well as inlet-outlet nuts followed by installing it with a new TBI-to-manifold gasket and new O-rings on fuel line nuts. The air cleaner housing must be reinstalled together with adapters, gaskets. Finally, unplug all electrical connectors; remove the throttle linkage, return spring(s), transmission control cable (automatics), cruise control if equipped, detach vacuum hoses labeling them accordingly that they can be reattached later during reassembly. To remove the inlet and outlet fuel line nuts using a backup wrench removing those fuel line O-rings next are five TBI mounting bolts which lift that TBI unit up out of intake manifold where its old TBI manifold gasket will also be discarded. Put it onto a holding fixture if available or take care while working directly on benchtops without any additional protection against damages or spills when possible such as placing it directly upon top of another workbench. When cleaning up an individual part from dirtiness by inspection of mating surfaces as well as reinstallation of IAC valve or TPS do not forget to invert throttle body in order to remove IAC valve after taking off throttle body assembly including its old throttle body-to-fuel meter body gasket, the TPS or those screws attaching the fuel meter body to throttle body. Place fuel meter body assembly onto throttle body, secure it with thread locking compound on attaching screws and then install a new throttle body-to-fuel meter body gasket. Next the TBI unit with a new TBI-to-manifold gasket and new O-rings on fuel line nuts should be installed. As for vacuum hoses, throttle linkage, return spring(s), transmission control cable (automatics), cruise control cable and grommet with wire harness that returns through throttle body; after which all these parts can be reassembled back into place. Plug all electrical connectors in followed by connecting negative battery cable before checking to see if there is any fuel leaking with an engine off and ignition on. Set minimum idle speed in addition to TPS output values then reinstall air cleaner housing assembly adapter gaskets so as to finalize maintenance activities.

    Q:
    How do you remove and install Fuel Injector,Fuel Pressure Regulator,Idle Control Valve,Mass Air Flow Sensor,Throttle Body and Throttle Position Sensor on Chevrolet Beretta? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The initial step of the throttle body procedure is given by the disconnection of the cable that is connected to the battery's negative terminal, where models with the Delco Loc II audio system feature a lockout function. Remove the connectors of the IAC valve, TPS, the vacuum hoses and the throttle cable, the breather hose and the air inlet duct. Before removing the bolts of the throttle body, the coolant should be drained and the coolant lines should be disconnected, the throttle body should also be detached. Fit in the new throttle body and the gasket by using the appropriate size of bolts and tighten them to the recommended degree. The rest of the process is the process of assembling. In case of the IAC valve, the electrical connector should be disconnected, the attaching screws to be unbolted and a new rubber O-ring must be installed after the washing of the special sealing surface. Ensure the pintle position is correct before whole assembly and fit a new O-ring with engine oil before fitting the IAC valve squarely. Replacement of the TPS requires the appointment of a dealer or repair shop with a scan tool for the correct adjustment. For the plenum on V6 and 1992 and later 2.2L engines and removal you have to: Pull the negative battery cable, remove vacuum hoses with their connectors and mark, remove the throttle cable bracket. EGR valve & throttle body have to be detached together with the plastic spark plug-wire shield and the plenum bolts. Undue care should be taken when removing the plenum; and the gaskets should be cleaned to remove any sign of the old gasket material before the new gaskets are fitted and the plenum replaced with bolts. The fuel rail on the other hand requires the negative battery cable to be removed, plenum if found to be removed and fuel lines disconnected by turning them around the backup wrench. Disconnect the injector electrical connect and unplug then take out the fuel rail bolts and then take out fuel rail with the injectors. Before servicing of the injectors clean the area around the injectors, then unlock the injector clip and pull out the injectors and should check and replace the O-ring seals if applicable. Fit new O-rings lubricated with engine drive, tighten the injectors by means of retainer clips and depending on a type of the engine unload necessary fittings and scews for the fuel pressure regulator in this Updated procedure all gaskets and seals must be replaced. Last, lubricate the injector O-ring seals and then install fuel rail and energize the fuel system for leaks. Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor can be removed from the car by unscrewing the mounting screw, disconnecting the electrical connector and detaching the air duct before lifting the MAF sensor out of the car, though should be handled carefully should one intend to re-install it. Installation procedure is just the reverse of removal process.

    Q:
    What is the purpose and location of the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on Chevrolet K1500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer attached to the end of the throttle shaft on the throttle body. It senses changes in output voltage to determine fuel delivery according to angle of throttle valve. Irregular bursts of fuel and an unsteady idle could be caused by a worn-out or slack TPS. The position sensor is located on one side of the throttle body. Look for loose terminals and wires, otherwise this sensor will not work properly. Prior to checking TPS, make sure that supply voltage and ground circuit are operational. Unplug the electrical connector and measure voltage across it, which should be about 5.0 volts. Otherwise, examine wiring too if not okay. To test its operation, reconnect with probe touching the dark blue wire terminal from behind as you gradually open up until there is smooth rise in voltage; otherwise replace it with another one as earlier mentioned above. In order to install a new TPS, remove some parts first in order to gain access for it including: disconnecting the electric connector while separating mounting screws too; besides these actions they have installed a new O-ring plus aligned TPS over which tightening had been done through screwing those four screws so that their ends only would remain visible underneath its groove where replacement must take place when necessary!

    Q:
    How do you replace the Fuel Injector,Fuel Pressure Regulator,Fuel Rail,Throttle Body and Throttle Position Sensor on Pontiac Firebird? Posted by Customer
    A:
    To replace the throttle body, remove the negative battery terminal, still to countermeasure the anti theft on models with Delco Loe II audio. Remove the cooling system, next remove the air intake duct where the MAF spring clips and throttle body hose are connected. Remove the accelerator cable from the throttle lever and take away the cable housing retainers. Loosen the IAC valve and TPS electrical connectors: Disconnect the PCV hose from the throttle body. Untighten and remove the coolant hoses on the throttle body with expectation for drooling of the coolant. Remove the vacuum hoses with marks and remove the breather hose if, it is available. Take out the bolts that were securing the throttle body, and pull out the throttle body, make sure you clean the old gasket off then, put in the new throttle body with a new gasket, and tighten up the bolts to the right torque. The rest steps are the reverse of the above steps of removal. As for the IAC valve replacement, the procedure remains the same with the addition of the fact that on the 3.1L V6 vehicles, the valve is held in place by two screws. Before installing you are supposed to adjust the valve pintle. For the TPS replacement, make sure that throttle actuator lever is properly aligned, fit retainers & screws loosely, and splice jumper wires to set the TPS voltage 0.54v - 0.5v. Once the TPS screws were tightened, reconnect the wiring harness and finally install the MAF sensor assembly. You need to start the engine for the IAC valve to self correct the problem it is experiencing. When performing fuel rail and injector service, remove the negative battery cable, and unbolt the air intake duct, vacuum lines, throttle cable bracket. Bolts for EGR Pipe should be taken off and THB as well as plenum bolts has to be removed On 2.8L models the cold start valve line fitting has to be disconnected. Pull the fuel lines out of the turbine end and put some labels on the connectors before disconnecting the injector lines. Loosen the fuel rail and injectors and put the part apart in order to have a look at and change the damaged O-rings if there is any. Replace the new O-rings, put some lubrication on the O-rings and place the injectors and fuel rail back in place making sure that they are well fixed. For current V8 engines, some abs line will have to be detached, the MAT sensor will also have to be unplugged The intake runner assemblies and the fuel injectors will also require some bolts to be removed. Check and replace extortion screws O-rings as necessary; should grease the same and finally assemble the parts. Fuel pressure regulator on V8 models is not a rebuildable item; if faulty, it can only be replaced. Unscrews and retainers of the required fuel rail assemblies and the regulator should be removed to have an access for inspecting the O-rings that need to be replaced if they are worn out and then putting back the fuel rail assemblies and other components and locking the screws in place.
