Open blade is normal. If you depress it then it will spring back. If the throttle position sensor is intalled on the passenger side and the throttle motor on the driver's side, you will need a new throttle body gasket, a torque wrench and some other basic tools to do the change. Throttle body bolt torque value is 106 lb-in. Careful how you handle it, don't bang it around. Best to do with motor cold so you don't lose any coolant.
