    Throttle Sticking(not your usual prob)

    Heres the dillio. I can start my car, drive it for a bit, shut it off, then start it again a little later, and walla, my revs seem to sta @ 2k. All i have to do is pull the pedal out with my foot, and it drops back down to just under 1k. Any ideas?? I've been told a few things so far, but not how to check them. Heres what i know.

    1.Buy some carb cleaner, giver shit!
    2.Throttle cable, already lubed up...
    3.Choke, i dont even know where that is...

    Does your idle ever go lower than 2k? The car is supposed to idle high until it warms up enough, then it drops. If you want you can lower the idle by turning the flathead screw on the side of the T/B.
