Theres a video on Youtube covering the TB replacement on a '98, it looks like about a 2 hour job but needs a few special tools. The water pump is probably another hour or so. I found the TB with tensioner etc for about $150, figure another $100 for water pump while you're there, not a bad day for a home mechanic.
