Sticky throttle?

You probably need to clean your throttle body.

I figured that would be the case, but there is a label on the throttle body saying do not ever clean this. I always found that to be absurd.

if you run a K&N filter, it lets a lot of dirt through, with a stock filter it rarely gets dirty. More likely Your cable is bad or the throttle idle stop needs a tweek. Any nos backfires in your past?

I've seen plenty of cars/trucks not running K&N type filters end up with a carbon build-up behind the throttle blades. Eventually, it will cause the throttle to stick when pressed from an idle.

If you don't want to fully clean it, spray a little throttle body cleaner or carb cleaner on a rag and rub the inside of the throttle body where the blade(s) rest when closed.

Not saying it's not a cable or what not, just a cheap, quick thing to do that may fix it, even if only temporary.

Pulled apart the throttle body and cleaned it. Problem fixed.

My TB did the same thing, butterfly had a wore spot inside that was making it stick. I chose to replace mine and that tiik care of it.

Are you running a stock tb? Some aftermarket throttle bodys stick if you back the idle screw all the way out. Try turning the screw in a bit and see if that helps.
