throttle body

[thekidder]

Does anyone know how much trouble it would be to put a throttle body with a cable on a 99 firebird and get rid of that awful fly by wire bs that gm decided to put on v6's?

Alot of work,need TB, upper intake ,PCM, plus wiring for/or on new harness, throttle cable and gas pedal. I think that is all of them.

[thekidder]

oh well, do you know anywhere that sells throttle bodies?

[ssms5411]

Look in the for sale scetion or ebay might try ZZP , I know they have L67 TB's but I don't know about L36 TB's. Are you just kidding around?J/K LOL Had to do it.

Tuning a drive by wire pcm to accept a throttle cable is going to be a lot of work for minimal effects. Just asking, but why do you want a cable driven throttle body?

not worth the hassle and cost. You would be gaining nothing in the end

i'm just having problems with my tb and its starting to upset me and i had been looking for new ones and couldn't find them is all. like its really hard to stay running in the morning and my cruise dont work anymore.

i didn't have these problems til the car sat for about 4 or 5 months cause i broke the rear end and spun the clutch. Didnt have the money then to fix it. I have a new tune coming for it, im gonna see if its just a glitch in the pcm or what ill find out monday when its supposed to come in i guess.

FWD L67 and L36 TB will NOT fit our UIM.

I know they don't but, but they might have a extra on hand, I find alot of parts in their clearance stuff. They can polish your TB if you send it to them. Don't know the price.

When I first got my 2001,I didn't really like the drive by wire it seamed hesitant.

The PCM learns your driving habits and the DBW hesitation is not noticeable anymore:)
