I watch one of yours videos for changing my throttle body for rough idling.After they removed it off they put the new one on leaving the old gasket in place. So can I reuse it? Also can you recommend the cheapest throttle body company I can purchase form for this car that would work a well as an original equipment. Thanks Bob

Hello Bob,

You can reuse the gasket if it is in good shape, but a new gasket would be better, also I have had good luck with parts from ebay, so this is where the cheapest throttle body will come from, you can try Amazon or AutoZone as well. Let me know if you need anything else, Ken
