Default Throttle sticks with car on

My throttle has been sticking ever since I had it port and polished and it only does it with the car started...I tried readjusting the throttle blade but it didnt help.

I think everyone has the same problem, I did. I just took a sanding blocks and filed down the blade little by little till I got it perfect.

The stop-screw is supposed to keep the blade off the seat,
just a hair.

I dont think I would need to sand the blade because the guy didnt port that deep in the throttle body...But the problem only happens with the car running.thats the weirdest part I think he did the 50/50 Mod so the blade stays flush at WOT maybe I should try to re bend that metal piece that sits on the idle adjustment screw??

same problem occured to me ,if you look closely on the throttle were the spring is at you can see a tniy screw on the bottom side of the it and you can adust the scre up or down ,Up make it idle higher down makes it lower


I had mine to far down and it would stick and i had to turn the screw a few nothces up to get it smooth again.i would almost bet that is your problem
