Are you sure it's the TB sticking or is it the accelerator cable?

Make sure the TB is thoroughly clean inside and out. Don't lubricate it though, that'll just attract dirt and cause more problems later.

Not a plug -- the fast idle cam.

I dont know if this will work. If it is the secondary butterflies. I would just remove them. Other than that I wouldn't have a clue. Those other guys took my ideas.

IMO you should've removed the double throttle system and left the thermowax/fast idle alone, but that's just me...

Removing the fast idle cam is easy, just follow these instructions.
