i would spray come throttle body or carb cleaner in there and itll clear it right up...your car will smoke black for a bit from all the stuff coming loose in the intake mani, but you might get better throttle response if you clean the IM out good enough

Or do it right and take the TB off, and clean it thoroughly.
More then likely you have gunk right where the plate is.

There's also a tiny screw on the bottom of the of the throttle body that stops the throttle. Mine is really stiff and sticky esp when I start it in the morning. If you tighten the screw so its longer it will help.
