Can anyone provide some sort of diagram or breakdown of the intake manifold and throttle body for my '88 760 GLE's PRV V6? I'm aiming to remove the intake manifold and as far as I can tell it's only held on with 4 small bolts? Is that correct?

TIA

 

B280F right.....
Looks like four bolts to me.....

 

Hey, just what I was looking for. Thanks a lot man.

 

Well I got it off. Going to give it a good cleaning and new gaskets and such.

What is the black piece with the large thumbscrew on the bottom of the throttle body? It didn't have anything connected to it.


And what is this sensor? You can see where it goes into the block and then all the stripped insulation. There is one just like it on the other side directly across from it.


Here's the crank pos. sensor that Tech mentioned to me. You can see how stripped the insulation is.


Just some misc. pics

 

Not sure... the black screw could be for the idle motor???

 

"And what is this sensor? You can see where it goes into the block and then all the stripped insulation. There is one just like it on the other side directly across from it."

That sensor in the background under your hand with the stripped insulation is the knock sensor. Its basically a little black circle with a hole in the middle with a brass insert. I would suggest replacing both of them at the same time.

 

also, while you have the intake off, you might want to replace those hoses, since you have easy access to them now. And I think that black screw is a plug in an unused vac line hole.

 

Awesome, thanks guys. Yes, I'm going to do a lot of cleaning and replacing of parts while I got it open. Can't wait to get it running again.

Thanks again.

 

no problem
