Wondering how I can find out if my throttle body shaft is worn? After deceleration down to an idle it has a tendency to stick at a higher rpm. Is it time for a rebuild even if I can?
Could it be something else? Thank you kind sirs!!! |

More than likely just dirty, I know they can be rebuilt, but may be easier (faster) to buy a "new" one. The other issue can be tension on the throttle cable. The pedals can start to come apart at the hinge over time and change the geometry so that it sits of ft the side more. This can make the return job of the spring harder so it will not return "as fast" if it can at all. Many just add a larger spring back in the engine compartment, but if this is your case it's only a matter of time before it will fail.
