I was disassebling my trottle body and I sheared one of the screws holding in Trottle positon sensor and I have nothing to grab onto to get it out. I was wondering how much someone could make me a bigger trottle body for and if anyone has one lieing around. I was trying to get a apart to paint it and make it look a little nicer. Its for the 3.1l engine too.

 

pm sent dusty.

though it should be easy to remove. Justdrill the center of the bolt out and use a tiny sharp chisel or screw driver to tap it out slow.

 

I used a tiny drill and Easy Out when I did that to mine.

 

Sheared the two little bolts getting the butterfly out today. This things is a nightmare. Now how do you get the actual rod out that the butterfly is screwed into?

 

You don't. It's supposed to be permanently assembled. If it ever needs any kind of MAJOR sevicing(I don't know what exactly that would entail, never needed to do one) it needs to be replaced.

Just be happy you don't have an OBD-II Honda Accord, if the TPS goes bad, you have to replace the entire TB, that's the only way to get a TPS. $497 from the dealer.

 

Its normal for them screws to break off if you don't wack the back of them off first. See once installed they take a chisel and put an x in the back side of the screw sticking out. So there is no way they could come out on their own.

But the shaft comes out real easy. Its all comes apart real easy.

on the other end of the shaft [ not the throttle cable side] there is just a clip washer that holds it in. Ya know a washer that has a big hole near edge and smaller hole in center. shaft slide in the big hole and then snaps into the smaller hole via a grove in the end of the shaft.

Just keep taking stuff off the TPS side. its down under it.

 

That is so wrong in so many ways.........

Don't spread stuff like that.

 

the two screws on my TB were actually spot welded in.

 

Probably a good idea to tac weld em.

If you ever been on an older car where one of the throttle scrw came out, you would know why they do that.

You would be awful suprised on how much racket a tiny screw can make. Then usually the throttle sticks off and on from the lose butterfly. And 90% of the time people don't figure it out. They think its a rod knock combined with sticky throttle and sell a car for cheap that is to easy to fix. Its not real common but cause most never figure it out........... it goes un noticed.

 

Anybody have a working 3.1l trottle body they want to sell me for cheap??

 

That's why I said that...

If it was left alone, the car would still be running and he wouldn't be trying to buy another one...

 

Ill sell you mine for $20 plus shipping as soon as I finish my new plenum w/ TPI tb.. Should be done before the weekend is over..

 

u got schematics for that new plenum of your with the tpi tb? send me a pm!!!
