Default BBK Throttle Bodies

Anyone using them? I'm finding that my throttle body is sticking open causing my high idle. I'm convinced. Anyone else having this issue?

Ive been running my bbk since I got my car at 52k miles. Adjusted it properly and haven't had a problem since. That being said bbl has a kinda meh reputation. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice had my car not had a bbk on it when I bought it.

It;s just an alloy casting with a hole in it, and a shaft with a throttle blade capable of blocking off or opening the hole--ain't on bit of rocket science involved..
