Throttle Body Housing

So my wife's Cm threw several codes today. P11AA, P1631, P1634, P169F. After lots of googling it seems to be related to the throttle valve spring, which I'm guessing means the throttle body needs to be replaced? Anyone done this before? Any advice is welcome.

I haven't replaced one, but I have held them and it's looks pretty straight forward. It's two bolts and a plug, all made of plastic. I believe I have a couple floating around in my garage

Well thats good to hear. My dad isnt as convinced as me that the throttle body is the culprit. Hes read that the thermostat housing can leak onto wire and the ECM causing faulty info/codes. But he was also researching a 2014, mine is a 2012. Is there a good place to look for locations of parts in the engine? Trying to find the thermostat without tearing the thing apart.
