Verdict is in and it wasn't pretty. A buildup of gunk on and around the butterfly was causing the sticking. Sorry Mike, looks like dkeach was the winner. In my quest to resolve the problem I did not take a before picture and since the after looks like a new unit, I will not bother. Suffice it say, a toothbrush, a little B12 and a rag is all that was needed. The damage done to my ego will be much more lasting. Let this be a lesson to all, a few minutes of preventive maintenance is worth hours of cussing a problem once it develops.

Now I will begin tackling the problem of my three amigos warning lights. Thanks to all and remember to declare any wagering income on your 1040!

When you had it apart, did you clean the idle control unit, if the t/body was that dirty the idle control unit will be also.
May want to start replacing your air filter alot more frequently.

Doug,
Come on out here and I'll treat you to some good old Colorado trails and a burger.

right on Mike. give my burger to Sideburns and Discoon22s.
They both did in fact suggest the throttle body prior to me.............however with a bit less detail.
I would love to come out and shred my disco in the mountains with you someday though.
