Hello There,
Took my car to Honda- They said I need to replace my throttlebody on my 2005 civc, special edition(actually the sensor is not regulating the proper voltage). They quoted $750. Seemed high! The mechanic said he has never seen this happen. So my question, how hard is it to replace? Does this ever happen? Should I buy used, or new? I was quote $85-100 used for the entire throttlebody. Does anyone have a diagram of what this looks like? I have always taken it to Honda for service, but times are tough & I don't mind getting dirty if it saves cash. My skills are limited, but with some guidance (from you all) I would be willing to do it myself, if the savings are worth it. Thanks in advance!
