It may have sucked some grit into it sometime or another and its probably scarred the housing where the blade rests at idle. Take it off and spray it out good with brake clean and move the idle screw 1/8th turn or so to move the blade slightly to a new area of the housing, that amount will not affect idle speed.

Try what Bo said. If that doesn't fix it I would be happy to take a look at it for you.

Mr. Williams also recently contacted me to give me advice on an idle issue. If anyone is looking to go with an aftermarket throttle body, Nick Williams is the way to go!
