Engine light came on for throttle actuator.

I got an engine light for throttle actuator but the car runs fine. Does anyone have a stock throttle body laying around I can test out to see if the light goes away? I will buy it for a reasonable price if it solves the issue.

My buddy has a complete motor but, he is out of the country right now and I need to smog my car.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Heads up it may not be the tb. My cel came on 2 days ago for the reason. Code said throttle pedal position sensor "c". I through my old tb back on and celebrate came right back, dealer says it's the pots in the pedal failing.
