I took apart my Throttle bodies for cleaning and painting and accidentally bent the four fine wires for the feed back loops. All it took was for the micro fiber cloth to come in contact with them and they were destroyed. I tried to straighten them out with a pair of tweezers and a pick and when I hung them back on the manifolds they operated okay without throwing any fault codes but I fear they will never be 100 percent.
If anyone has a set I can scavenge parts from or a good used set they are willing to part with please let me know?

Reason: spelling
I found one used unit on ebay with a broken plug for $65.00 USD. I can swap the good cover off the original and it should be good to go. Now all I need is one more...
it's not the money, it's the mayhem imparted on those tiny wires with the micro fiber towel that will keep me up all night. i can easily see myself doing something like that.
