Update...

I first tried to do as Nick said and hosed down the linkage and throttle spring with some PB Blaster. That didn't help.

Next I removed the throttle body and cleaned the inside with brake cleaner. That didn't help.

Next I sprayed some PB on the top and bottom of the butterfly where it pivots and let it sit. That didn't help.

The butterfly does not seem to have any spring on it's own. Maybe a sporadic jump in it when I work it back and forth, but no consistant spring to make it want to return to closed. How "closed" is the butterfly supposed to be at idle? Is there supposed to be any opening to it or is is supposed to be closed all the way and breathe through just the little hole in the butterfly and perimeter?
