Check http://www.car-parts.com

I bought one w/ 52k miles for $250. When I opened it up there was carbon buildup in cylinder 1, I'm thinking the intake valve seal is leaking. it's all getting reworked anyway tough.

good looking out on the car-parts.com that will be a handy site in the future im sure. the reason i ask is because i have found a source for a complete engine less throttle body with ecu and even the started for what i think is a prett good deal being that the miles are so low. like stupid low just call it a new engine and was wondering if im paying to much for it. after checking that site im getting a great deal imo thanks

NP. If it's just a spare, you probably will never need the ECU, throttle body, etc, Only the engine itself.

That being said, my da had the TCU go out on his 1990 Accord, ours has the trans integrated into the ECU, so it never hurts. The first motor I got was with 20k on it, came with the transmission, alternator ECU and starter for $500. That was private party though and not through a junkyard.
