On my tb the throttle shaft seals have gone bad.It has a vacume leak and is making whistling sound where the seals are.How hard is it to replace them and do I have to buy a complete rebuild kit for the TB?
Thanks in advance for your help.

 

96,you dont have tbi,so it shouldnt be a big deal. just a few bolts and a gasket.

 

The engine in question is not my 96.Its a 94 tbi engine.

 

ahhh. in that case its 2 cables,3 bolts,tpi connect,iac connector,,4 hoes,and 2 fuel lines. i have it all off and on in 5 min. easy. gasket is 7 bucks.

 

I think your missing the ?REREAD what Im asking at the beinning of the thread please.

 

ok,so the bushings on the throttle shaft is gone? or is it the paper gasket the tb sits on?

 

The bushings are shot,totaly worn out.I can move the throttle shaft back and forth.I never taken apart of worked on a TB before so I have no knolwlege of what to do here.Hence Im seaking help from somebody who has experience doing so.Thanks Aaron

 

i dont even think you can buy the bushings by themselves,nor aftermarket for that matter. have any yards around there? might have to buy a used tb. ive dealt with many tbi units.

 

Carburetor Throttle Shaft Repair Kit 3/8"" ZA-02

I'm not trying to endorse a product but this is what I was able to find, however finding a used one in the junkyard may be cheaper. The TBI's are pretty easy to take in and out. Would suggest getting a rebuild kit no matter which way you go while its out.

 

Yea,for the cost,it's better just to buy another tb.
