Replacing the throttle body is quite simple and does not require special tools; start by removing the plastic cover on the engine, noting that in this model it integrates the air filter housing, so it is necessary to disconnect the intake duct hose, the vacuum tube, and the connector for the related sensor before lifting it. Once the cover is removed, the throttle body is clearly visible, and to replace it, simply disconnect the relevant connector and unscrew the fixing screws; then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one.
