stupid parts house monkeys


trying to find a throtle body gasket for the Ei and no one has it most where trying to sell me intake sets and what not and i called napa because sure they would have it and they know there stuff not only did i get the keybord cowboy but did you knoe we have 2 difrent supercharged motors in 94 :?: well after that little fiasco i dont have the heart to call anywhere elts and no dealerships open today go figure the joys of working 6 days a week i'm done i will just have to go to the dealer if i get off befor 5 this week and order it if i have to and send the wife when it comes in but today i will do the plugs and some beldon wires for now as well as some minor things like rubber lines that are weeping and go look at a black 92-95 SSEi that is in need of a rescue that has ben sitting out side of a local shop for over a year that should **** off the wife a little owell

Throttle body gaskets changed between 92/93 and 94/95...older style is reusable if I remember correctly. The parts guy was probably prompted by his computer to ask which engine you have as the 94 may have been in a transition phase (i.e. early 94 production).

Remember, most parts monkeys are only as smart as their computer screens.

wrong section move please

There was no transition plate in early 94. 94/95 are a paper gasket. 92/93 are a plastic gasket similar to the LIM gaskets, and are no more re-usable than your LIM gaskets. After a couple months you have to consider them scrap.

Next time have them cross the gasket to the part number that matches BOTH the 94 and 95 supercharged engine.

he was basing on a 1 or a L in the vin

that and i thought it was like the rubber one in the 93 se i had ok duh i am a idiot lol
guess i'm glad i didnt tear it off yet that would have ben a bad thing lol

any how ooff to get some stuff and hit the junkyard for some good stuff

You need a Vin1 from 94/95. NAPA will hook you up.

ya they will after a week to ship it out here bahhh i will just hit the dealer they had the 1 for the vin l car lol go figure


any how got everything elts including the junkyard MAF screen so on to play with the car

well the MAF screen was to small ofcourse o well back to square one on that

put the new plugs and wires on and she seems better the idle has smoothed some but still can feel it and goes in and out kinda not realy surging but not rite ither that is why i was going to put the MAF screen back in that and now the charger is making more knocking ( the coupler is gone if it is in there at all i can almost get a 1/3 of a turn befor it catches has ben this way since day 1 )
but still builds good boost dont have a clue about that one so i guess on the shoping list for the dealers is a maf screen aswell

who would have thought that the maf screen out of a L36 and L67 would be difrent sizes
