yeah...i just posted the same thing the other day....get some intake and throttle body cleane,r remove, the airpipe...open the throttle plate and hose down the bore and front/back of the plate and clean with a rag several times,it worked for me.hit the cables too while your at it.
i used some valvoline stuff from advance auto.did good.

im placing my money on a dirty throttle body. the blades inside the throttle body sometimes get gummed up with deposits and stuff and causes it to stick sometimes on the initial push of the pedel. get some throttle body cleaner and a toothbrush( preferably not the one you are currently using to brush your teeth). spray the cleaner in the throttle body and use the toothbrush to scrub every surface inside the throttle body you can reach.. this should solve all your problem.

Especially around the rod to throttle body point.

thanks for the help sorry I must have over looked the thread earler
thanks richram this site is #1 with out a dout

richram - I had the same problem and posted my solution on this site back in August 2004... I'm in the middle of another issue right now, but if you search AF by my name you should find it.. it's a simple grubscrew fix and my throttle is still like new.
