Default Throttle Body HELP!!

Hey guys..new to the forum, i hope someone can help!

I replaced the altenator on my 06 mustang gt, everything is stock, while i was in the process I took off the throttle body and was going to clean it out as well. Well, little did I know NOT to take off the right side cover (where the throttle spring is) now I dont know how to get the spring "re-loaded" The car will crank, but no throttle response. I tried everything I know to do, and there is not much in the way of videos on this! Is that a cover beside the electrical connection that i can open to turn the spring? I need my car!!!

Maybe look for some BBK throttle body install instruction. I think that piece has to be changed over when you install one. It might tell you how to load the spring.

well, the problem is is that the bbk TB's have an access hole to set the spring. Stock TB's do not.

not sure if this will help, but it explains swapping the internals from the stock unit.

this is a bbk TB. It has an cap that you can pop off. Stock TB looks like it has one, but I dont want to break it! Is anyone sure that this cap can come off of stock TB?

PM sent with instructions. Yes, the stock cap pops off. In fact, when I bought my BBK Throttlebody, the TPS and Motor Housing were not included... I had to re-use them from my vehicle, so I am sure that the stock cap pops off. If anyone else wants these instructions, PM me.
