Default Please Help Throttle Body

a buddy of mine has a 1989 honda civic lx 1.5l it has the dual port injection.

for the past 3 months he keeps replacing it with used throttle bodies... because the dealership wants $1047 just for the new part not installed..

anyone have any ideas on what he can do to save $$? or is there something else causeing the TB to go bad?


thanks for the help
