Subject:      throttle body round thing underneath
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if the grey plastic round part that is under the throttle
body, the part that actually turns and hits the throttle valve switch, is
available aftermarket?
I bought a new throttle valve switch because I thought mine was not working,
because it adjusting it and testing it would bring the correct readings.
Well, I installed the new one, and it would not work either.  It seems that
the little grey plastic part that turns and has two points that trigger the
switch is worn down a bit so it would not hit the metal trigger on the
switch.  I rigged it up and got my old switch to work correctly by bending
the metal part, it works pretty good but it is a little sticky because I
bent the metal trigger a little too sharply.  But yeah, since I have a brand
new $60 throttle valve switch that would work great if I had a new grey
plastic wheel, I would like to find one of these grey plastic thingys.

Thanks,
Kim
