i havent ever messed with my throttle body but i know devon (Chin) knows his parts as he is a parts recycler and if him and thomas think its the throttle body bolt i would have a hunch it might be (i just didnt comment on their posts as i wasnt sure)

no harm man, always good to help.....better than OP not getting any responses man
In my first post I did mention that I might be wrong. Anyway it looks like it the throttle body bolt.

checked my throttle body the other day and the bolts are the same size but my throttle body had all its bolts in them, then i put the car on the lift and checked under and cant seem to find any place where the bolt could fit so i concluded that maybe the bolt doesnt even belong to the car.

I was going to say that the bolt looks like it's from a construction sight. You might have just driven over it and heard it hit your car ...

So it wasn't the TB? Then you prob just ran over a bolt laying around the parking lot and assumed its from your car as a coincidence.
