While trying to exchange a 2001 tranny for a 1999 tranny, I found that the throttle bodies were different...how do you fix/get around this, and is it possable to do this in your yard if you have the tools?

Hi there,

as the throttle body is different so may be the calibration on the TPI, this will up set the ECU and then things start to get out of control, will the manifold with your original throttle body fit? i am unsure and as i don't have one to compare, you may have to have a good look at it, i will see what i can find out as well.
