Hey guys

after installing my spacers, the check engine light came on 4 me. Everything runs fine though. I want to say it was P0113 code (dont rmr for sure). But the text said "Intake Air Temp. Sensor Signal too high". I reset it but I don't know if something is wrong or not. What could this be? I searched didn't find much.

Also I have an 03 TLS and the DIY on the spacers was about '99 TL. The throttle body is a little different and is hard to get off. The bolts that we need to use the "double nut" procedure on are holding it to the intake manifold. Since there isn't much space to do the "double nut" procedure I dont know how to get it off and put in the spacer for the TB. any clues?

One last thing, I couldnt get a bolt back on, on the bottom of the throttle body since the whole intake manifold is 1/4" high. Did you guys have the same problem?


Thanks in advance

 

do u have an air leak? are your rpms goin crazy?

 

With the TB removed its easy to grab the studs with vise grips and they come right out
The post about double nut was for removing a few of the manifold bolts- where its safer to use the d/n method than risk metal shavings with vise grips getting into the intake

recheck all your work - dont understand what bolt is a problem- can you do pics for us?

 

no there dont seem to be any air leaks, the rpms are steady. any other ideas?

i guess ill hav to try the vice grips sometime then.

 

so nice how u called me to help u ...

 

u might have crossed a hose some where or forgot to plug one back in. did you label everything before u took it off. go back thru and check everything

 

did you spray carb cleaner on the IAT (intake air temp) sensor. you may have damaged the sensor during the removal prosses, a new one is about $30.

 

where is the IAT sensor located?

I went through and got the vice grip and installed the TB spacer as well. This time no lights came on. But I just wanna make sure the Intake air temp sensor is good. If some1 could tell me where it is or a picture maybe.

And ill probably post a pic up of the bolt i couldnt get on next weekend.


Thanks a lot for the help guys
