don't you remove the fast idle cam while doing the thottrol body mod? you remove the coolant lines so it's not going to work anyways. So your broken part is unneeded right?

I've never done it though.

I broke mine too. I didn't put that thing back on, and everything works just fine. Good luck.

Drill. Drill Bit. Drill out the screw head. Vice Grips. grab nub that remains. Twist off. Goto Pick-n-pull. Get new screw (the vac pressure sensor up on the passenger strut tower uses the same screw size) from the junkyard. Have a nice day.
