Um...... use some proper grammar dude, the internet will respect you more and think you are somewhat intelligent. Use some throttlebody cleaner on the butterflies, they sell it at all autoparts stores. He thinks his throttle is sticking from what I could gather. But you may have other issues. Get a shop manual, or haynes/chilton or something. Or get a neon.
