Much of the time a sticking TB is caused by dirt, carbon, or gas varnish. Cleaners are made for throttle bodies or you can use carburetor cleaner but only on the butterfly valve. ------------------ " THE BLACK PARALYZER" -87GT 3800SC Series III engine, custom ZZP /Frozen Boost Intercooler setup, 3.4" Pulley, Northstar TB, LS1 MAF, 3" Spintech/Hedman Exhaust, P-log Manifold, Autolite 104's, MSD wires, Custom CAI, 4T65eHD w. custom axles, Champion Radiator, S10 Brake Booster, HP Tuners VCM Suite.

Could be the TBI w/ problems like said above,..
Could be the cable(s), pedal assembly or all combine.
Examples: Throttle Shaft will "eat" the hole in Carb/TB/TBI body over time and can cause binding. Often see metal wear in main bore where butterfly hits because of worn shaft hole. Cables to pedal and/or AT can bind too.
Worse if fools use oil to "lube" them because most oils hate plastic and loves to hold dirt.------------------ Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. (Jurassic Park)

Just wanted to comment that those two images that show up as icons are excellent photographs... but to avoid them appearing as clickable icons, try to keep the file size to a maximum of 2 MB apiece.
