Hey...

I was wondering if I removed the actuator from the throttle body with the battery disconected, when I plug everything back again, will it cause any kind of trouble? Will the car be able to start again or is there any harm I may be doing by removing the actuator?

Any info will be appreciated...
Thanks

I had mine off many times (without disconnecting the battery) and it was fine every time. No worries.

BTW, welcome to G35Driver.

thanks for the data...

anyway, I tried pulling it out and it was really difficult... do you remember if it has a clip or any sort of safety mechanism for release?
