Quick ? - TB Removal
In the middle of removing throttle body on my '98.
I see how to release the throttle cable (driver's side), but I do not see how the passenger side cable (cruise control) releases.
Does the cable come out of the black plastic piece attached to the TB or do you remove the entire rectangle shape black plastic piece the cable runs through ie the cable remains in this piece?
I hope that makes sense.
Thanks and I apologize mods if this the wrong forum.

If it is the same system than my 01, the plastic piece in the middle has a latch mechanism. grab and squeeze (top/bottom) then pull outward. this releases the latch off the TB ****.

Do you recall if you if the tabs you squeeze are radiator side or intake manifold side?

Just pull on it. It pops off eventually. Took me forever to figure it out. Lift the throttle up till there is some slack in the cable, then pull the black piece towards you until it pops off. Good luck.
(I've taken my TB off so many times I think I can do it with my eyes closed)

Thanks for the replies! Yep, the entire piece just pops off the TB nipple. It took me awhile to figure it out. It has a latch mechanism that looks like it might slide through the outer part, but that is not the case and that was confusing me. Plus the cold temps and you know how easy it is to break plastic.
Any reason not to cut off about an inch of the EGR tube/pipe that extends down in the intake manifold behind TB?

mine was cut for a while, then i scrapped the entire EGR system and had it (and the reset of my emmissions crap) tuned out of my PCM (for only 75 bux at MTI).
i would HIGHLY recommend getting rid of all of it, makes the engine bay look alot cleaner and sanitized for your protection
