Ok, so the two bolts holding the IAC into the throttle snapped, with the ends being stuck into the throttle part. Currently, there's a vice grip holding the new IAC into place. How can I remove these bolts without removing the throttle body? I'm afraid of snapping anymore bolts.

Push comes to shove and I have to remove the throttle, how do I remove them then?

If you snap the TB bolts you're very talented. :laugh:

Honestly, just goto the j/y and get another 3.1 TB.

Cheap and easy.

N/A 3.1 throttle bodies and indentical to LG5 throttle bodies?

as long as its a car equipped with a TV cable (4T60)

OK. I'll see if our local junkyard has one. If not, it there a way to remove the snapped bolts?

Drill them out and re-tap the holes, or try using and EZ out (screw extractor)

Going to look into the EZ out method. Thanks!

BTW 3.1 TB's are easy to come about, and just about every 3.1 has a 4T60 attached to it (the MPFI 3.1 NOT the SFI)

ya, I know my local junk yard probably has at least 100 of em... you shouldn't have any problem finding one...lol

Our local junkyard in town doesn't carry anything but v8s and L67 cars...and imports **shudder**

The two in the closest town over dont keep vehicles for more than a month and then they crush them...They recently crushed a TGP AND TSTE!!!!! If I would have known this was how they operate, I would have gotten more parts.

:icon_cry:

I can sell you a TB for pretty cheap.  PM if interested.

2nd the the new jy tb.  A junkyard with both v8's and imports? wow thats a good yard for the v8 part :)  A TGP and TSTE shite thats wrong.  My JY here in NY had a TGP and I got there when it hit the dirt.  I Was there all day getting the major turbo items.....then everyday after work for 2 weeks getting the other stuff for about 1 hour at a time.  it took them like 2 months to crush it.......I really like the tste :)

Theres an 88 GP SE in the JY I'm pulling parts from right now.. I could pull it if needed.

Ya, like I said before, there are tons of 3.1s at my local junkyard up here cobra too, so if you, or anyone needs any 3.1 items, let me know, I usually go there at least once a week. In fact there is a 91 GP with the goldlace rims, but one is damaged, but I was still thinking of pickin em up to hang on to.
not to mention cobra, I am only like an hour and a half from you in Utica if you ever really needed anything big. IIRC you are in binghampton righ?
