Explore detailed specifications and features

This throttle body is designed for GM 3.6L V6 (LY7) engines and 4.3L / 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L V8 engines. Please verify your original OE number before ordering. Not compatible with 2.0L / 2.2L / 2.4L 4-cylinder engines, diesel engines, or models without electronic throttle control. The 72mm bore is the factory specification for these applications.

This part is for GM 3.6L V6 (LY7) and 4.3L / 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L V8 engines ONLY. It will NOT fit:

  • 2.0L / 2.2L / 2.4L 4-cylinder engines (Ecotec family – different throttle body)
  • 3.5L / 3.9L V6 engines (LZ4, LZ9 – different throttle body)
  • Diesel engines (Duramax – different design)
  • Models without electronic throttle control (cable-operated throttle)
  1. Confirm your vehicle is equipped with the 3.6L V6 LY7 engine or 4.3L / 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L V8 Vortec engine. Not compatible with 2.0L / 2.2L / 2.4L 4-cylinder engines.
  2. Check your vehicle model and year against the fitment table (Chevrolet Malibu, Silverado, Express, Impala, Tahoe, Suburban; GMC Sierra, Savana, Yukon, Envoy; Pontiac G6, G8; Saturn Aura; Cadillac Escalade; Buick Rainier; Hummer H3; Isuzu Ascender; Saab 9-7X).
  3. Locate the original part number on your existing throttle body – look for 12595829, 12568580, 12615503, 12618735, 12580760, 12679524, 12572658, or 12572650.
  4. Verify the connector has 6 pins (blade terminal type, GM standard for this generation).
  5. Measure or confirm the throttle bore diameter is 72mm.
  6. Check the mounting bolt pattern (4 bolts) and air intake duct connection match the product photos.
  7. Note that a new mounting gasket is not included and must be purchased separately (GM gasket part number often 12593360 or equivalent).
  8. Contact us with your VIN or a photo of your original part if unsure.

IMPORTANT: After replacing the Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) on GM 3.6L / 4.3L / 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L engines, a throttle self-learning / idle relearn procedure is REQUIRED. Failure to perform the relearn may result in unstable idle or check engine lights. If issues persist, use a professional diagnostic scanner (e.g., GM MDI / Tech2) to perform a "Throttle Body Relearn" or "Idle Learn".

Step Action
1 Disconnect the negative battery terminal for 5–10 minutes (clears old learned values).
2 Remove the air intake duct and disconnect the electrical connector (6-pin blade terminal).
3 Remove any coolant hoses attached to the throttle body (if equipped with throttle body heating).
4 Remove the four mounting bolts and old throttle body.
5 Discard the old gasket and clean the mating surface on the intake manifold.
6 Install a new gasket (strongly recommended – sold separately).
7 Install the new throttle body. Torque bolts to 8–10 Nm (6–7 lb-ft).
8 Reconnect coolant hoses (if equipped), electrical connector, and air intake duct.
9 Reconnect the battery.
10 Turn ignition ON (do not start engine) and wait 10 seconds.
11 Turn ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
12 Start the engine and let it idle for 5 minutes (do not touch accelerator).
13 Turn engine off for 30 seconds, then restart and drive normally. The ECU will complete adaptation automatically.
  • Pre-installation check: Inspect the throttle body for any defects. Verify the OE number and connector type (6-pin blade) before installation.
  • Gasket requirement: A new mounting gasket is strongly recommendedgasket not included. A damaged or reused gasket may cause rough idle or check engine lights.
  • Packing List: Electronic Throttle Body Unit (72mm bore, complete assembly with TPS and motor) × 1; Warranty Card × 1. (Gasket and installation hardware not included)
