TB lube points/sticky TB
are there any points on the TB that need lubrication? Mine sticks a little from closed. I know it isnt the line b/c I feel the same thing when I pop the hood and move the TB with the car off. Could this be caused by the TPS mod? I broke one of the screw holes doing it, so only the top on is holding it on.

When was the last time you cleaned it? Often times that carbon build up causes the butterfly to stick. Other than that, you've got me.

I don't think there is anything that needs to be lubed. Just hold the throttle plate wide open (engine off of coarse) and clean the carbon out of the bore and the throttle plate.

Removing the TB to clean it is the best way to do it. And You'd have to have some serious carbon builld up to feel it with your foot. So, pop that badboy off and clean'er out. Then see if you need to oil it.
