Gaskets are pennies at Advance, O'reilly, and the likes, for the TB.
I don't think you can buy the IAC seal seperate. Never tried.
Don't bubba the thing up using RTV.
I do hope you are getting free air for your tires...I'd hate to think you'd have to buy it.

I was having major starting issues, and it all came down to the IAC,
Just grab a can of Throttle Body Cleaner (For Injected), disconnect the sensors and throttle cables, pull the throttle body take off the sensors, be careful I broke my MAP sensor grommet thing the first time, spray the Throttle body and the IAC plunger bit. Clean it all up, put it back together and your done.

Seal what? The IAC or the TB?

Lol thats funny man. Was tlking about the tb and just thinking of things I have here at the house. Dont know how much the gasket costs but I know it wasnt cheap for the gasket kit I got for my brothers engine when I rebuilt it but that was with piston rings and what not so again not sure the price on it all.

I assumed he was talking about the IAC when referencing the gasket and the torque values. The TB torque settings are different and getting a new gasket might be a good idea.

If you don't have an in/lbs torque wrench then just keep in mind 60 in/lbs is only 5 ft/lbs and that's just a little more than the force needed to tighten a pickle jar.
