Order or marketing of the Throttle Bodies for an application other than those listed in this

Bodies may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

This Executive Order is granted based on submitted emissions test data on a 1995 5.7L.
Chevrolet Impala SS, certified to the tier 1 emission standards and a 1998 5.4L Ford
Expedition, certified to the Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) emission standards Test results
showed that tailpipe emissions with the Throttle Body installed on the vehicles met their
applicable emission standards during a Cold Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure. This

1997 Camaro and a 1998 Ford Expedition. Test data showed that the Throttle Body when
installed on the vehicles did not affect their ability to perform OBD 11 monitoring.
