so as some of you know i installed a new 75 mm tb and intake plenum. here's the thing. when my car is turned off, the throttle cable is not sticky/stuck. when i turn my car ON it sticks like crazy when i let off the gas. anyone have a clue what is wrong? thanks!
Hmmm, sounds like a BBK???

no actually, it's a summit 75mm tb. it's supposed to be better than the bbk, but right now i'm having my doubts.

what you are getting is very common when you install a new TB. It is called vacum lock and is easy to fix. Adjust the screw on the top left untill it no longer locks in place. The drilling a hole method also works and most factory TB blades have a small hole in them to prevent this.
