TB sticking, What should I do?, Found my high idle problem.. Options

[Andyrew]

Well today i figured out why my car has such a high idle, the throttle body sticks. So if I manually apply pressure to close it with my hand, it idles fine (well I need to tune the idle screws and mixture but still). So that portrays the question.
What would cause the throttle body to stick? I check the TB plate, and unscrewed it and tryed to fit it better, then tightened it down, didnt help. I set the MPS or whatever that thing is called on the TB.. Now im stuck. I can drive the car, but I still want to figure out this problem.

Any idea's?

You do mean the throttle valve?

D-Jet or L-Jet?

You mean the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)?

There used to be a guy that rebuilt throttle valves on 914's. I believe you sent him your valve and he would put new bushings in it for the shaft and make it work like new. I think his name was Mike Cooley and the company was Southern Knight Machining. I never sent a valve to him so I don't know the quality of his work, but it may be worth a look. I think he charged something like $43.00 to do it.
