Default New Throttle Body?

Anyone know where i can get a new throttle body?

Im haveing a problem with when i first start, my engiene sounds like its reving really high and it sticks around 2k rpms for a little before droping and everything goes back to normal. Now it only does this sometimes and when it does it also feels like i lose some power as well. The only thing ive been able to think of is the throttle body butterfly valve is sticking but when i manually open it all the way i see no problem with it. Any suggestions, or a place to get a new throttle body?

Clean yours. Remove it and give it a thorough cleaning. If the problem persists, replace the IAC valve which mounts into the side of the throttle body towards the back.

You can get a TBI rebuild kit from NAPA, that has the gaskets and fuel line o-rings in it. I agree that the TBI itself rarely goes bad. The other parts, IAC, TPS are replaceable.

Completely different setup on the SCFI motors. The throttle body is separate from the fuel supply and only handles the air to the engine.
