Throttle Body Assy Removal

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions, creating the potential for serious burns. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light. Do not smoke. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

Be prepared for fuel spillage; any spilled fuel must be completely wiped up immediately.
