Sticky Carb

This seems too simple but I'm at a loss. My throttle sticks at around 800-1200 RPM on my electronic Q-Jet. I can push it down to the idle stop with relative ease and I have the fast idle adjust all the way out 'cus it has problems disengaging(sp?). Are there worn bushings or the like I'm missing???

I hope your Q-jet problem is this simple.
Have you checked the lever that sticks up
on the driver's side of the secondary throttle shaft? If the secondaries are not
fully closed the idle will be fast, but usually it will also be a little rougher than
normal.
