Default Installing Throttle Body

Just bought my fancy new throttle body for my 2002 and decided to install it tonight. Detached my TPS off my old stock throttle body and put it onto my new one turned it to line up the holes and heard a lovely snapping sound...needless to say pretty sure I busted my TPS because its all loose and doesnt turn back to default (offset)...picking up a new piece after work!!!

Ahh good times...good times

Fix't. No offense, but you might wanna ask about things that your not sure of about your car. If you are just doing a TB because you just wanted to than thats ok, but if you were doing it for performance, just ask man.

Well in my opinion a TB alone doesn't do much due to stocks narrow intake, but a TB + CIA= a better throttle response and that wonderful whistle. A V6 will always be a V6 and a throttle body wont make it a supercharge, its just fun tossing my pony a cookie once in a while.

Still. Huh? I highly doubt you're getting that. Maybe if it's tuned, but I doubt it is.
