Throttle Body Removal Help
I'm trying to remove the throttle body on my 99RXAWD. I've removed the two nuts from the top flange and the one behind the cruise control bracket. I can't see or feel another bolt but it feels like there's still one holding it on. Any advice? Are there 3 or 4 nuts holding it on?
Thanks,
Baetke

Thanks Hypervish & Salim,
The link hypervish sent me gave me the information I needed. I would have never found those two bolts by myself. I finally got them out so I could remove the throttle body so I could remove the IACV and thoroughly clean and lube it. That solved a low and rough idle rpm problem I was having.
Thanks again!

The gumming happens due to oil and fuel vapors and a disassembly at 100k miles and a squirt of cleaner every 50k should be enough.
