You have no "throttle body", you have an upper & lower intake manifold, (sometimes the upper is called the "plenum"). There is never a need to "prime" it. Your vehicle is MFI (manifold fuel injected) and "primes" itself when the crankshaft position sensor senses crankshaft movement, and a start signal from the ECM unit. Should it take too much cranking to start the motor, you could have a bleed-down (siphon) back to the fuel tank by a bad fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. (The fuel pump relay provides a 2-second burst of power to the pump any time it senses a "start" position of the ignition key. Mark---Raleigh, NC MFI is actually multiport fuel injection, but a 96 acheiva has SFI or sequential fuel injection other than that the answer was correct, btw those 3100 are famous for bad fuel pressure regulators i would check that first, on the left side of the engine just behind the power steering is a test port, for the injection system, you should have at least 15 pounds of pressure at the test port...skandolis fort smith ar

How do you remove the speed governor on a 1994 E350 16ft box truck?

As far as I know the only road speed governor would be an aftermarker unit. It can be removed but you would have to know what you're doing. The ones I've seen take the thottle cable off the thottle body and run it to the aftermarket unit. Then a new cable from the unit back to the thottle body. I guess you could hook the original cable back to the thottle body and "by-pass" the unit. Rich

The MAPP sensor is located on the passengers side of the thottle body. Remove the "dog box" and when looking from the inside of the vehicle you should see it on the right side of the thottle body. It's kinda tricky to remove ...but it is do-able. Good Luck ... hope this helps. MR. X
