Lubricant for TB and TB cable I recently ported my own TB. Since then the tip in of the accelerator feels a bit sticky. What is a good lubricant to grease up the bar inside the TB and to lube the cable?
Edit: I just realized I forgot a "t" in lubricant. Doh!

You don't need to lube anything. I had the same problem although in my case it only stuck when the car was started. You just need to adjust the screw on the throttle body which the throttle body cam rests on. Maybe 1 turn. Shouldn't effect idle or anything. I did that and no more stick. It seems like the increased air flow causes the butterfly valve to stick a bit in a closed position. At least in my case since it didn't stick at all with the car off.
