Default Injection Part ID Help

Hello -

I have searched the PET diagrams and can't find this specific part for a '90 964. This plastic piece is on the right side of the throttle shaft, opposite the main throttle lever. It rotates w/the throttle shaft and activates a switch at WOT I think. I'm hoping I can source just this small plastic piece and whatever snap ring or retainer it needs (which was missing too). Hopefully the photo is clear enough.

Thanks,
Tom

You probably can't find like because it's part of the throttle body assembly. You might be able source it from a dismantler... I am guessing.

Yeah, that is who I would recommend too. They are pretty good finding stuff you cannot otherwise find.

Thanks -

I was hoping it was an oft-broken part that I could just order, replace and be good to go. I will start calling dismantlers to see if I can find a replacement.

Thanks,
Tom

Yeah, that would have been easy.

I looked and I couldn't come up with a part number or even a picture of in the PET. You'd think it would be right there with the microswitch, so the only conclusion I could come up with was it's likely part of the t-body assembly.

Thanks for the link above - good idea. I was able to find the part ($5) from a dismantler. I will save the old cracked one just in case I need to use the safety wire method mentioned in the thread above.

Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
The part is not available separately, but if you send me your address and I will post you one. We remove this part from 964 throttle bodies to fit a TPS for Motec conversions so I'm sure I will have one somewhere.

Thanks so much for your generous offer. I found one at a dismantler yesterday (cost me $5) and committed to them already.

Thanks again,
Tom
