yea it is... but i have bad news for you. it still has that initial stick

I dont know why it works or what it does, but try spinning the spring on the throttle cable where it attaches to the TB. Mine used to stick forever and there was no binding or catching up on the mat. There was just a slight stick that made starting from a stop a PITA where it bucked like old chevys do . Barely touch the gas and lurch forward. One day for ****s and giggles I was spinning the spring around and whattya know, it was smooth as butter after that.

It started sticking again recently since the HCI swap so I took a look and my TB coolant bypass tubing had gotten caught up in the throttle cable....zip tied it out of the way and its golden again.

i had the same problem, the cable was rubbing against the cables for the injectors, once i moved it out of the way it was fine

I had this problem as well, but only at WOT. I just wiggled the cable and messed with TB for a few minutes lubingthe moving parts w/ some WDand its cool now.

actaully i was driving yesterday to autozone too pick up those expensice a$$ o2's and it was sticking really bad. then i needed some more tools so i drove to home depot and it didn't stick anymore. not sure what happened but it's good now

if its still doing it just spray wd40 under the throttlebody ..and clean out the inside of ur throttle body with some intake cleaner or w/e

yea i'll do that... what i did before was spray some brake cleaner under the t/b. but the t/b is already pretty clean from when i took my car apart

Its the spring in the throttle body butterfly. its probably catching or binding. I almost blew my motor because mine stuck. i always thought it was my cable, but when i put the stock tb back on it didnt stick.

that's what i think it was cause i sprayed that thing pretty good with brake cleaner and now it's fine
