ported TB now pedal is stiff
ported TB now pedal is stiff I ported and lightly polished my TB and did the half shaft mod now the pedal is a little stiff when i first press it then its fine. it only does it when car is running otherwise its smooth and normal. what could cause that? am thinking the lid has some room for adjustment and could be slightly off centre? or am i missing something while reassembling? the TB is absolutely fine when car is off. i followed the write ups and didnt touch where the lid closes and i have zero idling/driveablity issues.
am suspecting either the lid has to be reassembled OR the shaft has to be pressed/hammered in place? i did place the O-ring back on. any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks.
EDIT: I didnt do the knife edge. wasnt too comfortable doing that.

WD 40 didnt work. still stiff on the initial depress and then its smooth only when car is running..i took the TB off. any other suggestions? should i reassemble it again? thanks.
exactly my thought. i took it out and had to test fit it a couple of times..seems to open and close smoother now! i will go try it on the car and see how it goes. btw if i adjusted the screw will the motor compensate? meaning, i wont have higher idle? looks like if i opened up the screw a tiny little bit all this issue will go. thanks.

Verdad Gallardo Your talking about the butterfly in the tb? I sent my tb out for porting and received it back w/ the same problem. I was told to tighten the screw in the front but it still sticks at the top of the pedal. I guess I have to remove the tb and send it back to the porter?

yep, learn something new everyday.
thank you
definitely. before you remove the plate listen to it carefully while it closes, that can give you a hint of its contacting the TB. then remove the 2 small screws and adjust. man i could feel a difference! it made more difference that having the LS6 intake swap. am impressed.
