any trick to getting that bugger off anyway? seems to be a lot more crap in the way than i had on my FD

Okay, since you just picked up the car in the past couple month, you can't assume what the previous owner did or did not do...
Try and see if you can spot evidence that the UIM was removed - UIM nuts / bolts show signs of removal, throttle cable removed, etc.
If the UIM was removed, almost guarantee the throttle cable is binding.
This happened to be when I rebuild my motor - pegged the tach and scared the **** out of me!
The actuator cams on the throttle body itself cannot prop the throttle plates open that much - 4kRPM at the max.
If the throttle body looks kosher (nothing jamming it externally), I would remove the throttle cable...shake it a few times and push the gas pedal several times to remove the twist in it...and then reinstall.
If this doesn't fix it, the throttle plates are sticking...which means R&R of the throttle body, which is going to take some time.

sorry, need to update this. i was in the process of taking everything apart finally the other day. i noticed there was a screw missing from the top of the t-body. i glanced down and saw some threads sticking up around one of the throttle cams. turn out, the screw vibrated out and wedged itself in there. it wasn't much, but it was enough to cause some damn problems. go figure, huh?
