Default throttle body

Ok i cleaned my throttle body before i read the what not to do and i took the butterfly out.
Now when it sits for awile it sticks, once you get passed the initial stick it is fine but sometimes i forget to unstick it before starting the the car, long story short you can sure scare people when it launches. is their a fix for this

So you already cleaned it or not?

It should be sticky before you clean it.

I believe that you will have to take it back apart, and adjust the position of the butterfly until it doesn't stick anymore.

Two things I can think of here..

Either the edge of the butterfly/area is still a little dirty or it'* not adjusted as the nutty M&M above mentions.
