A good used throttle body with switch is one option. I have a few good ones for sale. I think we are talking about a 2.1 here, ( though 1985 1.9 uses the same switch arrangement, with a smaller throttle plate, so we could be talking about one of those instead. - those are kinda rare, but I have one of those for sale too ) Scott www.turbovans.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Beierl" <dbeierl@ATTGLOBAL.NET> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 7:17 PM Subject: Re: TPS Adjusting Screw damaged, Can it be fixed? > At 09:53 PM 9/29/2009, Robert Stewart wrote: >>Now after the rebuild of the engine and examining it, I realize that >>they damaged the adjusting screw.
