throttlebody swap

just want to get some info before i change my throttlebody, is this process a simple install or do you have to set the throttle position sensor when you switch throttle bodies , just curious because i dont have any experience in that.

Very straightforward. Everything should swap out, as far as the TB sensor, etc. Watch for fluid when you remove your coolant hoses on either side of the TB.

Easy as pie. Make sure your stock throttle body cam (part that the cable goes over) is the same as the new one, there was a variation between years.

Yeah like blur said if you are taking a 98-99 and swapping with a 00-02 you will have to swap out the stock throttle body cam which I had to do and it was pretty easy install saying that I had no experience switching tb before either. good luck
