Hey Guys,

I need help in finding the right replacement for the TPS Gasket. As far as I can see, it's leaking, and I want to replace it. Now I looked for "firebird 3.1 v6 tps gasket" but can't seem to find anyhting about that. I have a picture attached.

regards

 

There isn't a gasket for the TPS, it mounts over the end of the throttle shaft. A dry area.

Hi Rbob, thanks, but I could see the gasket, after I removed the TPS. I forgot to take a picture. It looks like a sponge rubber O-ring.
Do you have an image showing the TPS location from a 3.1 V6?

 

Lt1 uses a sponge . But if you have a major vacuum leak there might look for a used Throttlebody. Even new the shaft to housing had slight leaks.

The sponge for the LT1 looks exactly the same.

 

If you look on rock auto looks like same part number for lt1 and 3.1 tps. I just don’t think it’s a item sold separately.

 

Could you please send me the link showing the lt1 gasket. I have trouble finding it. Thanks.

 

It’s black here but probably just to keep the tps clean or gp Sorensen 97-3028

 

Thanks!

 

What is the orange 'stuff' leaking out from behind the TPS?

I guess this isn't really a Firebird 3.1l engine?

Thats a sponge rubber gasket, sitting right behind the TPS. As far as I can tell its a T-Code V6 Engine with 3.1 Liter in a Firebird from 1990. I can take some fotos afterwards. I know that the 2.8 litre engines have a different throttle-body.
