I found the swap while browsing another site, I believe the years are 96-02 I think. The one I used came off a 99. The tps was different, I had to use spacers for it but the IAC had the same plug and everything. I had to make a 1 inch thick adapter plate to bolt it onto my intake but the throttle linkage is on the same side and so are the sensors. I also had to make a different bracket the the detent cable. But all in all it was worth it because i only spent $20 on the tb and plastic air bonnet that goes on top of it so it worked out well.

Drove mine to school. Wouldn't start in the parking lot and I had to jump the starter, the rich kids in their Mercedes,Audis,BMW's and SAAB's laughed.
I'll be laughing when a hurricane hits and their cars are all stalled.

What do they think? We're primitive picking up tools & knowing how to use them? I find them primitive having to sit and wait helplessly, because they don't have tools or know how to use them. Sad ignorant little monkeys if you ask me. And believe it or not they usually poor as ****. Yes monetarily speaking.
