I plan on taking my throttle body off to clean it. My question is do the bolts that hold it on have to be torqued to a specific spec, or can I just snug them down with a ratchet?

Suppose to be 15-20 ft/lb, but I just tightened mine down with a ratchet. Personal preference.

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.

According to the FSM, the throttle body mounting bolts get 100 in/lbs.
That's only 6.25 ft/lbs.

I wasn't going by the FSM, I was going by the torque specs for grade 5 and 8 threaded fasteners.

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.

So baisiclly all I have to do is tighten them down with a quarter inch ratchet, and not go crazy on them.

Yep, that's about it. You don't want to strip out the aluminum threads in the manifold.

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.
