Oatmeal

The throttle body on my 85' has worn throttle shaft bores (bushings?) causing it to not come down in idle speed unless you "blip" the throttle. This is causing issues (along with a bad cat) with the smog guys. I looked at getting a used one but, at about $150 and maybe no better than mine, I've been hesitant to go that route. Is there a way to rebush these things, is there a kit available? The price of a new one is through the roof and I can't even find rebuilts. I have about 330,000 miles on it (the throttle body, not the motor) and the cat as well (I guess it was due for replacement) Any help is appreciated. Thanks!----------Hans

Can you take it apart and cut some shim stock to fit, ? It sounds like an odd area to figure out.
