You could be experiencing a worn throttle body, which is common (happened on mine). The shaft that holds the butterflys wears an uneven pattern into the side of the TB and causes it to stick slightly. Sometimes you'll notice when you pull out to a light the RPMs are too high, but if you blip the throttle it goes away.

You can use some graphite to lubricate the shaft, which is what I did and it works like a champ. Some people send their TBs out to get the shaft hole bored out and a bushing installed, but I haven't seen the need yet.

Other than that congrats - looks good!

first let me say that your avatar is also excellent

I don't think it's the TB shaft only because it was fine until I cleaned it.

I pulled on the cable a couple of times and it seems to have reset itself. I'm going to take it for a long drive tomorrow (no time today) and see how it works out then.

Thanks for the input.
