Where can I buy a new switch. It's the one that tells the ECU the Throttle plate is closed. I can find one anywhere.

Best bet is to find a used one. If you must have new, Extreme PSI has them:

Are you sure it isn't a missing ground strap? Seen tons of cars where people remove the ground bracket on the throttle body because they didn't know what it is or what it does.Where can I buy a new switch. It's the one that tells the ECU the Throttle plate is closed. I can find one anywhere.

No the bolts are not good enough. Its just a wire. The stock setup has a little l shaped bracket from one of the bolts to a screw on top. Just make a wire to do this. There is also a ground strap behind the intake manifold to the firewall.My car never had a strap.. it used to run fine.. where can I get one or how could I make one? Aren't the bolts going threw the throttle Body good enough grounds?

The throttle body that's on my car is missing the screw and hasn't had the strap in 10+ years.. I'm just finding out about it now.. I'm not sure if mine is bad. But I bought a new throttle body with a good fiav. Mine was siezed. So I'm switching everything over. I think the new throttle body is for a nt. It only has one vacuum port. And there isn't a screw spot for the screw in the same spot.There is/was a small screw on the top of your throttle body that the strap attached to. You can run a wire from this to the intake manifold where the ground strap to the firewall is or some other ground point. (like the battery negative post)
