might want to clean your throttle body with some cleaner. If that doesn't work theres a stop screw that you can adjust on the TB (adjust upwards), which is located under the spring.

i had this problem with an STR throttle body.

i took some 600 grit sandpaper and sanded the throttle body a LITTLE BIT around the top and bottom where the plate contacts it.

it fixed my problem.

notice LITTLE BIT. this may not be your problem, but it was with mine

Hmm well if the TB cable was to tight it wouldn't close the butterfly all the way. Not closed = not sticking.

i thought about doing that, but first i'll shorten that spring that takes it back so it has a stronger pool.
