Ok, what great engineer designed this thing? Went to swap out today as I was getting a code and figured it was probably stuck open. Problem is when I went to remove the housing the clips inside broke and under load sprung out....and I swear in the second this all happened, I saw the top spring fall into the housing!! (Maybe I imagined this..but) I immediately undid the other side of the housing to drain as much fluid as I good. Tried with my magnet and my flexible grabber, but no luck. Can't find the spring and of course stressed about it going into the engine or pump. Suggestions? Is there any inlet under the throttle body, or only the two, one left, one right on this piece? Can I remove it w/o removing the throttle body? Assuming if I did, I'd have to get two more seals for the piece?? Crazy...:argh::stupid::confused:

Ok update...finally got the spring...how reassembly correctly? Anyone got a pic/diagram of which spring goes where and in what order? Noticed the top of the old one has a centering piece for the plastic about, does the spring rest on that and go over the black plastic in the housing?
