Throttle body sticking closed I put this TB on a few months ago and it would stick shut after decellerating. I took it off & used light sand paper on the edge of the blade and inside the TB. It was OK after that. I had the TB off last night to install my TNT kit, now the TB blade is sticking closed again. Any ideas of what is going on and how to fix it?

Take the TB off and loosen the screws on the blade about a half a turn and push in on the shaft while lightly opening and shuting the throttle blade and this will center it up and then tighten the screws. If that doesnt help just open the blade a little by turnin the idle screw about a 1/4 of a turn. Hope this does it for ya
