Question ?? DO U KNOW: 99 & 00 GS 300 Throttle Body ??

Hello. New to the site...have searched hi & lo on this site and others but haven't found an answer....i'm hoping someone can help...

I have a 99 GS 300....
Anyone know if the Throttle Body is interchangeable with that of a 2000 GS 300???

well if i were you honestly i wouldnt waste my $ on the lever assembly i been there done that . i ended up buying a throttle body off ebay for 250 and it came with all 3 sensors UNTOUCHED ! so all i had to do was uninstall my old TB and install the new one . plug the sensors up and walaaaaaaa problem solved ! o and unplug your battery while your doing this so the ecu can get reseted in the meantime !
heres the link of the guys i did business with...

$250 is not bad at all (assuming everything is functional). They range from $200-$350 in the past for a complete TB with motor and all sensors unmolested.

You happen to have helped someone out tremendously by essentially giving it away at $60 shipped. Good deed for the day though..
