Default Throttle Body

ok I been to lots of part stores and looked on line for a new throttle body to replace my 20 year old worn out one. I know the throttle body is on it the spring that is on it is bad. I would not mind fixing it if I knew how. So anyone got a place that sell new one or can someone help me rebuild my old one?

u have to remove the throttle shaft by taking the throttle plates out,make sure u put them back in the same location as removed and check for binding.ive never seen any parts store carry throttle body assemblies or even offer rebuilt ones a parts car or salvage yard is your best bet
