Transmission: T5, looking for t-56
Mine was sticking at one time because the idle set screw backed out just enough to where the butterflies closed tighter and jammed up a little in the bores,cause the butterflies are just a hair elongated.I had to drill out the cap that covered the screw and turn it in a bout one turn and that solved the problem.

that is the most likely cause. it is also a good idea for all of us to spray a little bit of pentrating lube into the throttle shaft area. the soft aluminum of the body rubbing the steel shaft can cause a bit of distortion over time. keeping it slippery is the best defense.

These guys are right on the $$ tighten up your idle adjustment until it stops sticking.
