    i did notice on the back of the throttle body some very small pieces of the old gasket, may have been just enough to get a bad seal (perhaps) i am grabbing at straws here since i cant do what i intended on doing today. i scraped them off and sprayed out the throttle body. not much i can do with replacing it till i get some thing to get these stripped screws out, ... well i got it all back together ... with the old parts to the same issue ill try this weekend to get the screw out of it since i have a 3 day weekend :)
