Default Attention nova c5 owners!!!!

I have been having problems with my 98 C5 for about a month now and have tracked the issues down to my throttle body. Apparently the DRIVE BY WIRE motor has taken a dump and instead of spending 450 on a new throttle body I would like to double check by using someone elses just to see if it goes away.
SO I know Im asking alot of a total stranger but, WOULD anyone like to help me out by coming out to my house and allowing me to remove there throttle body from there car , and put it on mine just to see if the codes go away and fixes the problem??? Id be happy to supply beer and gas money for your time and headache.
If anyone can help give me a call 703-498-5124.... thanks Steve Bowen.

Man that sucks, I have a stock TB sitting in my garage I was starting to port that you could gladly use. Im in York, PA. 17406. Parts of VA aren't too bad for me. I'm just stopping in right now. Check my area and see how far away i am from you. Maybe it would be faster to ship back and forth? Or if it fixes you can just buy mine for all i care. Let me know if i can help you out. If its not more then a 1hour drive to meet you I could probably do that too. Good luck either way and let me know if i can help.
