Re: Throttle sticking - I think

Christian, I will concur with Jwit. If you will take off the front 
bull horn on the intake manifold, you will see the butterflies in the 
throttle body. Clean the grung out and final clean with Berrymans B12 
spray. They have to close all the way. It only takes about 30 minutes 
and I clean mine out about every two or three years. Even better if 
you are ok with mechanic work. Take the throttle body out to really 
clean it good, then relubricate and reinstall.
