    Pretty much exactly what the title says, I am seeking a throttle body that's OEM or equivalent, and I'm having a bitch of a time finding one. I'm new to working on my own car, but I've cleaned the throttle body enough times that my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

    Where are you guys finding your parts?

    Wrecking yards with freshly arrived Saturn s cars.
    Most but not all are either broken timing chains or collisions. Some are blown engines. So it's hit or miss whether the parts you are looking for are damaged or not. Chances are the car was not towed to the yard because the throttle body was messed up.

    eBay. Make sure you buy for reputable seller and shop around for price.

    Surprisingly some parts are still available through the online parts houses. GM parts direct, GM parts giant, etc.

    A little more difficult now that Saturnfans crashed into oblivion to reach all those people with old Saturns. But life is sometimes that way
