Re: TB Rebuild Kits

I got mine off EBay for $35 or so.
The NAPA up here in Canada wanted over $80 for a TBI rebuild kit. I laughed at the guy and walked out.

Re: TB Rebuild Kits

no part number, but Fast305 is correct also, Autozone has them, but I would check Napa 1st.. as it was cheaper too.

Re: TB Rebuild Kits

Just to add my two cents worth:

CSK Inc
Checker Auto Parts, Schuck's Auto Supply, Kragen Auto Parts, and Murray's Discount Auto Parts stores or Advance Auto Parts .

Kragen is common here in SoCal

Niehoff CK1081 $29.99

Re: TB Rebuild Kits

Hey all,

Thanks for posting this information. Can I take this thread one step further and ask where can you get the bushings for the throttle shaft? Mine's worn and won't keep idle. I can wiggle the throttle linkage and get it back down to 700-800rpms, but as soon as you hit the pedal it sticks to 1000 rpm. I've checked everything IAC, idle stop, etc. Adjusted the idle multiple times and still come up w/ the same problem.

Do they sell a kit that you can press in your own bushings or would that be better left to a professional? If so, does anyone have any contacts on where I can send mine?

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: TB Rebuild Kits

go to the crossfire site crossfire.net and look at "throttle body". there is a rebuilder there. If fact there is a thread about using bearings on the linkage side and bushing on other.

Link doesn't really lead anywhere, searched for the crossfire site and came up empty handed.

I did google throttle shaft bushings and got a couple of good hits, although some of the "kits" are $125.

Re: TB Rebuild Kits

if it helps anyone, i just picked a throttle body rebuild kit for 88 TBI up at advanced auto for about $29. P/N was 97-724. They called it a fuel injection repair kit. Just incase anyone needed it.
