Maybe a silly question, but after removing my air cleaner I noticed that my throttle body doesn't open fully. By "fully" I mean the plate being in a straight up, vertical position. Mine opens to a max of about 30 degrees less than this. Keep in mind, this is while manipulating the throttle at the engine, so it's not a pedal issue.

Is this normal position for WOT?

Thanks, I'll have to figure out what's hanging it up then.

Ah, didn't think of that. I'll check for sure.
