Question: Anyone know of a source for a Throttle Modulator Assembly for a '94 Buick Century?

Recently my '94 Buick Century station wagon, 3.1 liter V6, developed a problem: going uphill, she starves out and threatens not to make it. Thinking it was the throttle body, I took her to a GM shop, where I learned that the throttle body (on reset after the hubby tinkered with it) was just fine: it's the Throttle Modulator Assembly, which doesn't seem to be available _anywhere_ for that particular model. The part has been discontinued by GM. (Thanks a LOT, General Motors!)

So what other makes/models would criss-cross to my Buick for that modulator valve? She doesn't even have 90K miles on her quite yet, and I was hoping to hang onto her for at least another year.

"Nellie" the Buick Century station wagon does just fine on flat road. Unforch I live in hilly country and this just won't do. Thanks in advance for any help here!

Question: 2008 Honda Accord Coupe?

Your best bet is to look for a wrecked one and buy the seats, the door panels etc. from it. To have it done will be from a crappy job at 2 thousand to a quality job at 5 grand or so. Less than 500 will get the interior at the wrecking yard. less shipping!
