Hey, Im sorry if this has been brought up before but I search and couldnt find anything specific. My throttle body is pretty much shot, the biss screw is stripped and my shaft seals are gone as well. Instead of drilling out the biss screw and tapping it, and replacing the shaft seals I have decided to buy a new throttle body. :thumb:

Yet, because my car is a 90 I need a TB from a 1990 as well which has become sort of a problem.:notgood: One person just messaged me and said the throttle body he was selling came without sensors. What does this mean? Are they just the external parts that hook up to the throttle body, or are they things I will have to replace? My current throttle body is complete so would this work fine or should I wait? Thanks a lot-



Cliff Notes:

-Wtf does "without sensors" mean? :confused:
-Can I still use the TB fine?
 
well when i bought a throttle body to be ported out and it came without sensors all that means is all the external devices on it like throttle position sensor and so on and i was able to reuse my sensors with my throttle body and you should be able to do the same
 
Without sensors means no TPS (throttle position sensor) no idle sensor switch (the switch that is held in when the throttle is closed), and probably no ISC (idle surge controller). If you have to relocate your TPS, you'll have to adjust it again. The VFAQ should have directions.
