Default Throttle Body sticking....

This is a stock TB that has been bored out to 54MM. Every once and a while, after startup, if I rev it, it won't came back down all the way to regular idle. I'll have to pop the hood and push it to the stop screw to get it back to regular rpms. It has also done this while driving. I lubed up the cables with liquid graphite, still no change, what else can I do?

Thanks guys, I'll try that tomorrow morning and post up whether it worked or not, of course I'll have to wait til a week or 2 of driving to see if it shows up, it doesn't happen everyday, but it has happened a lot recently.
