But, first, verify that the cable isn't sticking. First, look just above the throttle spring & cable assy., there's a set screw that the throttle stop (black) rests against at idle. Is the stop against that screw? Slowly open the throttle a little with your foot and let off slowly. Is that stop still against that screw? If there's a gap, something's sticking, may be cable,may be the throttle body. You may want to pull the cable off the TB and run it with your hand at close to the length where it idles, if you don't feel any thing, the cable's OK. Now run the TB w/o the cable attached open & shut slowly to check for stick.
If all that's Ok, now pull the TB. The IAC is under the throttle position sw. (large wrench size). Pull it and take a look. DO NOT push or pull on the pintle. You can clean any deposites with the TB cleaner. The FSM states "do not remove the thread locking compound on the threads id you're going to reinstall". On reinstall, start the eng for 5 seconds and turn it off for 10 seconds. Than restart and and check idle speed.
I'll try that later because that is exactly where it's sticking. The black piece stays about 1/16" to 1/8" off the stop. I can move it back manually and then it will stay there but as soon as I give it gas it goes back to the being off.
