I am cleaning the FITV and the IACV. I also replaced the TPS. While doing this I pulled the throttle body. Nothing on this car has ever been touched. It is stock as a clock. The throttle body gasket tore. I have calling around to the parts stores and no one has one. I looked on ebay and did not see any there either. What are you guys doing when you need to replace the gasket? Are you making your own? Sure would be nice to be able to get the car back on the road soon.


Got any ideas about where to get a gasket or how to make one?

making your own is not hard to do. you can buy the stuff at a hardware store. cut it using a hobby knife or something. thats how i made mine

Thanks for the quick answers guys. I have been looking at Autozone, Advance and Napa and they have several different types of gasket material. What type do you guys recommend?

something simular to the stock one even though its just a piece of cardboard. they have this grey rubberized kinda material is what i used. its 1/64" thick kinda like this material here: http://www.mr-gasket.com/ProductDeta...minselection=4

Made my gasket this morning and car is back to running order. I cleaned the throttle body, intake as far in as I could reach. Cleaned the FITV, IACV and changed out the TPS. I still have the problem I had before I started. The car will buck at approximately 1500 RPM. I will start another thread for that.
