throttle body adjustment caps?

Post by je328is »

Hey guys, do the throttle body adjustment caps just pop out? I'm ordering a set of yellow ones to replace the blue ones that are in there, I like the yellow better! Thanks.

I believe you are talking about the idle air bypass screw caps. These caps are tamper evident caps. They get pretty much destroyed when you remove them.

ok cool, but once they are removed/destroyed the new ones just snap in?

The color difference is to indicate that the throttle bodies have been readjusted.
Yellow was factory and blue is after a recalibration.

You can't get them out without them breaking.
Yes, the new ones just snap in place.
