Default Rebuilding Throttle control motor???

Hey Club Lexus, so I was on a few threads finding out if my throttle control motor was the culprit of my problem and turns out it might be. As I was on the threads I believe I read the someone on here rebuilds throttle control motors (I hope I am not on drugs or imagining this). If you guys/gals know anything about this please let me know as I am looking to get a couple of them rebuilt.

Thanks.

You can't really rebuild the throttle control motor. You can however repair the throttle body by replacing the broken parts. There are 3 electronic parts to the throttle body.

1. APS = Acclerator pedal position sensor
2. TPS = Throttle plate position sensor
3. Throttle control motor

I'm aware of this sir, I just swear I had seen someone opens them up and rebuilds them as there was something that was badly soldered in there and is why they go bad but not 100% sure.

Do you need the motor or the other sensors? I have some extra parts on hand if you need a used one. Just send me an email.
