I broke the nipple cold weather off the throttle body under iac. Forgot what the cold weather does to plastic parts. what is the plastic housing called for the TB? Can't find it any where to buy w/o actual TB. Can i drive car till I fix this?

 

What was attached to it? Does it still start, run?

 

It starts and runs. The hose goes to a hard plastic line towards back of car.

 

Some vacuum or evap system line probably. I'm sure it will trigger the CEL soon enough.

 

Yeah I was thinking that was bound to happen. I went poking around there because a code
P0507 was stored. My luck. If I plug the hose, would that set off the cel as would the hole in the TB. What if I plug both, till I can get some tubing to fix this?

 

The throttle body is a whole unit; there isn't just a "housing." I mean, yes, there is the housing of the T/B, but it's not a replaceable part that you can just buy. I know what line you are talking about, but without a Neon anymore, I can't go out and confirm what part you are specifically talking about. Sorry.

 

That's what I was thinking. Non replaceable.If I buy used, could I swap parts if cost effective?

 

If its a part on the TB, buy a junk yard TB and swap the whole thing, Use your existing sensors though.

 

If you are going to buy a used TB, why swap parts over? You'd just need to move over the IAC, I think that's about it. Everything else is going to be the same, but if you want to just because, by all means...

 

Kinda what I meant, IAC, was not sure if any other sensors are on it.
