i looked at the FSM and the carb tht it shows doesnt look llike the one i have. the carb in the manual has 4 butterflys the one i have only has 3. BTW its a 13b FI carb

LOL. That's not a carb, it's called a throttle body and you cannot overhaul it. What problems are you having?

ok so i had my terms mixed up. basically its a total piece of crap. its off my buddies car which has the original motor in it hes replacing the motor and was trying to save some money by trying to fix the "throttle body" but since its not rebuildable... ohh well its not my money

That's a vague description. There is not much to go wrong with the T/body, so what exactly is wrong with it?

sorry. the buttterflies are sticking like crazy all the gaskets are chipped and broken, the elctronic parts that screw in the throttle body are fouled up. basically the previous owner didnt take care of his motor(engine /bay completely covered in dirt and grease)

There is throttle body cleaner or even using carb cleaner on the throttle plates is usually more than enough to free the butterflies up.

There is only 1 gasket and that is inbetween the base and main portion of the body which is not visable.

The only electronic part the screws onto the t/body which is the TPS.

Not to be mean or anything but you do not know much about this particular T/body. I recommend you download the FSM for the 84-85 models and do some reading about the operation of the T/body and the adjustments that can be checked and set.

no no ur right i have no idea about this particular throttle body im actually downloading the FSM and printing it out right now. the other gaskets i was referring to are the intake runners( what the t/body bolts to ??correct?) and theres like one or 2 small gaskets that were also on the t/body
