Well in my quest to fix my hunting idle I was cleaning my throttle body and my dog knocked it off the milk crate I had it on and snapped the plastic plug on the top of the throttle body!!! Anyone know if I can pick up just that or if im in for a whole new tb? Or anyone in central IL got one handy? Wishful thinking im sure. Any suggestions?

 

That's not a plug. It's the plastic housing for a spring loaded plunger assembly that sets your throttle closed position.

Have to replace the TB. Maybe find a used one from a salvage yard.

Or check with Zabteck. He made a prototype replacement part out of brass. I'm running it in my ported TB.

Don't know if he went into production with the part though.

 

Here you go.

Check with Todd.

Tell him you heard about that replacement part he made for Norm from Mustang Collective.

 

Yeah knew it it was a spring loaded piece. Didn't know what it wad called. Ordered a new ford racing. Good excuse for an upgrade! But seriously, a hollow plastic tube? That was doomed from the start.

 

Most of it is lol.

 

I think your dog is in the doghouse....................I know, that's pretty lame. I think he/she owes you quite a bit of what I'm having done to me in my avatar!!
