anybody know why this is happening??? no rough edges cleaned it to a shine and still stick

I've read that sometimes a plugged PCV valve will cause oil to be pumped into the intake and re-gum up the throttle body. did it go away when you cleaned it then gradually come back?

Also, what part of Cincy you from?

take the intake tube off and spray it with starter fluid/gum out/carb cleaner and wipe around in there. and hold the throttle open with the car off

took the thottle body completely off and sprayed it wit carb cleaner and cleaned it up really good and still gets stuck. and newbie101 im from westwood, u

check the throttle cable

reading/blue ash

I guess in that case x2 on the throttle cable

aight good deal i'll check the cable out and see if it sticking anywhere or getting hung up somewhere. newbie you ever come over on glenway

probably been in glenway but didn't know it

Try adjusting the screw under the throttle lever.

NEGATIVE dont touch that screw at all. it was set at the factory and painted as you can see to never be or get or become adjusted. that will only throw your TPS off. if it's sticking check the cable itself. while mounted on the Manifold with the cable on open the the throttle by hand and see if the cable has alot of SLACK as if it could come off hang off the side a bit. if it does tighten up the cable but just leave a lil bit of slack abd spray the heck out the spring that is there with wd-40 or some good grease..

should be moving freely.. have you done anything to the throtlle body at all as far as mods?

You can adjust the TPS to compensate, but honestly it doesn't look like moving that screw will help with the stickiness.

i was going to put a different intake manifold on but it was a obx manifold and nothing lined up on it so took it off
