Hey guys, so I was coming home from work yesterday, and when I stopped to pick up Red Robbin (YUMMMMM), my monte would kinda start, but die on me almost immediately. I popped the hood after several tries of starting it, and holy moley! My IAC was hanging by a thread, literally! I guess the screws somehow loosened from engine vibrations? I have no idea how it happened, maybe it has been staying all the way open? So anyway, after tightening the only torx screw left on there (there are two holding the IAC to the throttle body and one is no longer with us ) I realized I had none of these left in my stash. Does anyone know where I can order more? My AAP and AZ do not have these. I have the 3400, 3.4L. Thanks guys. These screws are the longer ones with a tapered unthreaded end, in case you haven't done any TB work.
Thanks so much again if anyone can point me to a website or place to purchase some.

 

On my 3800, I removed all the torx screws on the throttle body, replaced with stainless steel hex heads from the hardware store. Best thing I did!! My experience is that the heads of the torx screws strip or break too easily.

 

any idea what the sizes are for the ones that go in the IAC? The heads on ine did indeed begin to strip when I tightened the single one I have in, down.

 

take one out and screws are so cheap buy a few

 

You'll have to run up with the existing screws to your local hardware store.... I know the 3800 throttle body has two on the IAC, two on the TPS and two on the MAF. a couple where different lengths....

 

I only have the one in there and didn't want to have to take it out and risk it falling in the engine bay. I bought the thinnest ones possible at home depot, I will have to see if it works. Yey for the depot. It is good to see you around Dave, I thought you left us.
