HELP: I need a throttle body blade screw I had one of my throttle body blade screws strip out, so I had to drill it to get it out, but now I need a new screw and can't find a replacement.
For clarification, it is the two screws that actually hold the throttle body blade to the shaft on the inside of the throttle body. I've gone to the dealer: no luck. I went to parts stores, no luck, it's some special thread with a taper'd head on it. I can't even find a screw with a correct thread on it.
If anyone knows where I can buy one, or has an old throttle body with a screw they can mail my way, please let me know. It sucks that the car is down because of a freaking 30 cent screw. And no, I don't want to just buy a new throttle body, as the dealer told me.

Any chance you guys are still there, how about tomorrow morning???? It's driving me crazy that my car is down from a 3.5mm 0.6 screw. I'm just down the road from you guys in Doylestown.
Edit: I should have checked this earlier. Oh well, I'll give you a guys tomorrow. Worst case scenario, I'll stop in Monday or Tuesday after work. Thanks guys.
