Throttle body wearing out...

My throttle body is starting to stick and the spring on it is looking a little worn out. I wanted to go with a bigger size but I can't really afford that and the MAF right now. What should I do?

They do but it isn't common. The throttle bore valve will become off center and stick a little at idle.

you can get one from a v-8 exploder, if I am not mistaken they come with a 65mm TB.

RE: Throttle body wearing out...

I went to the junkyard last weekend and all the exploders had the complete front clip removed including the engine. Would I be alright if I went with a 70mm TB and a 75mm MAF later?
