Default 90m PTM Tb sticking

My throttle body likes to stick open after I have given it some gas. I checked it while the car was off, opens and closes without a hitch. It stays open while running though because of the vacuum. Can I get a stiffer spring or something? Anyone else have some ideas on how to fix it? This **** is annoying and dangerous, I need to get this thing fixed.

I have heard that there were some older versions of PTM and it since has been revised to a newer version. Something to do with the shaft and the blade..?

How long have you guys had your throttle bodies?

Yeah that could be why, maybe see if you can get ahold of them directly, or TSP (where i assume you got it from) and maybe it can be updated. Just an idea.

This was an old thread! No it is not common on the PTM.

Spring Does Solve The Issue, Other Potential Fixes Include Centering & Grinding Down The Tb Blade If Need Be...

But In My Case We Put The New Spring In And All Is Good
