So, I was trying to persuade the throttle body to come off from the intake manifold tonight and during the process I broke off the coolant nipple that is mounted to the bottom side of the throttle body . I really need to take the hammer out of my tool box. The nipple and housing are attached to the very bottom of the throttle body by 3 bolts. What the heck is this part called I need to get another one to replace it and don't know what part I am looking for.......

On the plus side my intake manifold, IACV and throttle body are really clean, along with the EGR port in the bottom part of the intake manifold due to some great threads I found here.

 

Sounds like you broke part of the throttle body.

 

Thank you, but I am already aware of that, LOL. I have included pictures to help show what is broken. It is a removable part of the throttle body so I would assume I should be able to order just this specific piece. This part attaches to the very bottom of the TB and has a nipple for a coolant line which points straight out for a hose to attach. The nipple is missing in the picture because it is broken off.

 

I am not aware of just that part of the throttle body being sold by itself. Maybe you could get that piece off another throttle body from a salvage yard.

 

I was affraid of that, the philips head screws that hold it on strip out or break off very easily and are a pain to get out, at least I know what I need to remove them now.
