Throttle Plate Damaged

It's been sticking between 1-15% lately (lately as in past year).. and I kept trying to adjust its position so it doesn't contact the edges of the bore, but since then, it just got worse and now it apparently wore down the top edge of the blade so air goes by that shouldn't, causing me to have a nice vacuum leak and an IAC valve that is fully closed and ineffective at idle.




I have spare throttle bodies but 52mm stock ones. My throttle body is a 62mm RSM one.. I have a post on my local forum seeing if anyone knows a place that can fix it, otherwise, does anyone know of a place I could send it to for repair?

what about the company that sold your TB? Either they have new blades (and screws) or you could ask for an exchange or repair.

Then on the other hand, a good machine shop a pile of dough and time should get you what you need

It's RSM, they're gone. I wouldn't trust them to do it even if they were still around.

Have a machine shop make you a new one. They are easy to make.

Probably time for a new TB -- bearings worn out, excessive sideways movement in shaft area, etc.

Yeah, they took a 52mm and bored it out and made a custom 62mm plate for it...

Maybe it's time to upgrade to LS1 75mm?

Kinsler (local) can make me a throttle plate real quick and cheap. Forgot that they do that sort of thing.

I also came across this old thread about my 62mm TPS problems, and noticed the reason my plate can move up and down so easily, that metal ring that's supposed to restrict vertical movement is messed up.
