S13 throttle body seals - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Tonight I decided to do a boost leak on my car and found a good leak coming from the TPS... I took it apart and the o rings in there were trashed.. I've searched for a while looking for these with no luck. I was wondering If anyone can tell me a solution with my problem and maybe where I can find these rubber seals... thanks in advanced.

Wow...Thats interesting.
My car Acts like it has a Vac leak and I would have never got to that ppint because I would have Blocked off the Pipe before Entering the Throttle.

I'm in for this.
I can only think a New TB would fix this?

Edit: did you smoke test It??

you can find o rings at almost any hardware store.

did you try Nissan? Other would be the hardware store as mentioned above.. I'm sure most decent auto parts stores will sell o rings.. maybe Napa or something... but.. I never had a problem like this.

I do have a DE throttle body sitting in my garage with a TPS on it... if you want I'll check the o ring.. I can send it to you for postage (worthless to me.. I have a TB on my car already)
