Hey everyone. So I'm looking for the rubber intake pipe between the throttle body and the VAF. Also I have a broken throttle spring and I wanna replace it but seems to replace the throttle body is easier and easier to come by. I'm in Hamilton Ontario and I'm willing to pay for shipping for a fair price

The accordion tubing wears out and allows a lot of unmetered air into the engine. I recommend refurbishing any that you buy used, you can use a silicone type sealant to good effect, if you clean the tubing prior to application.

Checked it all out and looks good but I see what you mean. A little sensor safe sealant around where it seals is not a bad idea

I got one in minty condition, if I had of seen this yesterday I could of got my son to bring it with him back to Hamilton. $15 + shipping if you still need it. If you want to wait my son can bring it down after he come up for Xmas. Silicone works but not for any length of time. If you can find a tube of butyl rubber that works best.

Thank you guys but I found it about a week ago.
And yes Butyl rubber will probably be best. Right now I'm on the search for a JE-50 VAF and new springs and shocks. I will ask around but if nothing I will have to make another thread.

So I gotta open up this post again. Turns out I need the 2.5 v6 throttle body. I was having issues with the one I had and I thought it was the wrong one but It turns out the tension spring is just bad and wasn't closing the throttle completely. So I'm looking for the throttle body in the left of the picture now.

No i can admit it was my mistake. I asked for a k8 throttle body originally. i thought that would fix my problem but it just made another one. So now I need a 2.5 v6 one
