\n 1.<\/td>\n Remove the throttle body from the intake manifold. Refer to the service information
\navailable in TechCONNECT or the Ram Truck service manual (publication no.
\n81-370-04059), Section 14 Fuel Injection, Throttle Body, Removal, page 14-36.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n CAUTION: Use only Mopar Brake Parts Cleaner, p\/n 04897150AB or 04897151AB, as
\nthe use of other cleaners may damage components of the throttle body.
\nUse this cleaner only in a well ventilated area. Do not let this cleaner come
\nin contact with the skin. Rubber or butyl gloves are recommended. Wash
\nthoroughly after use. Avoid eye contact. Avoid ingesting.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 2.<\/td>\n While holding the throttle open, spray the throttle body bore with Mopar Brake Parts
\nCleaner, p\/n 04897150AB or 04897151AB. Spray the entire throttle body bore and the
\nmanifold side of the throttle plate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 3.<\/td>\n Use a soft cloth to help break loose deposits to clean the throttle body bore and throttle
\nplate. While holding the throttle open, clean both the top and bottom of the throttle body
\nbore. Also clean the manifold side and edges of the throttle plate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n NOTE: Take due care not to scratch, bend, or dent throttle plate and\/or throttle body
\nbore.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n NOTE: It is important this cleaning operation be performed thoroughly and completely.
\nThe edge of the throttle plate and the portion of the throttle body bore that is in
\nthe closest proximity to the closed throttle plate is the most critical area where
\nthe cleaning should be concentrated. This area must be free of all deposits
\nwhen the cleaning is completed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 4.<\/td>\n Spray the throttle body with, Mopar Brake Parts Cleaner, p\/n 04897150AB or
\n04897151AB, and then blow dry with compressed shop air. Inspect for any foreign
\nmaterial which may have been left behind during the cleaning process.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n CAUTION: Do not apply shop air pressure directly into the throttle shaft and throttle
\nbody housing holes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 5.<\/td>\n Open and close the throttle plate on the throttle body to verify that there is no increased
\neffort when moving from the closed position. If the condition is corrected, proceed to the
\nnext step. If the increased effort still exists, then some other condition exists with the
\nthrottle body and further diagnosis and repair will be necessary and will not be covered
\nby this repair procedure.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n 6.<\/td>\n Install the throttle body on the intake manifold.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 7.<\/td>\n Open and close the throttle to verify that there is no increased effort when moving from
\nthe closed throttle position. If the condition is corrected, proceed to the next step. If the
\nincreased effort still exists, then some other condition exists with the throttle linkage and
\nfurther diagnosis and repair will be necessary.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
