$90 + is not cheap...... a used one from a parts yard may be cheap, but not brand new one...

They are easy to change. Just be sure to use wd-40 or the like to break lose the little torx screws. Mine went after submerging it ( along with the rest of the frt of my jeep). Luckly that was my only problem. Ditto on junk yard ones. $2.00 a pop.

I did mine the other night. I couldnt break them loose and ended up stripping out both of them. took the throttle body off, a touch with the dremel and a cutting wheel, and a twist with a flathead did it for me.
