That spring controls the amount of heat to the intake and without it your engine will not start or run properly. You need to find a new one and install it. With all the scrap 235's floating around you will probably not have a problem finding one in Truck Parts Wanted or you might want to check with NAPA to see if they stock them... can't be too expensive.

At least that's my understanding.
