There's a little adjustment screw that only lets your throttle close a certain amount. It's kind of hard to describe exactly where it is. Just grab the throttle linkage like you are going to rev the engine, and look for the screw that it comes in contact with when the throttle is closed. If it isn't adjusted correctly, your throttle body will close a little too much and get stuck in the carbon build up sometimes. Clean your throttle body and see if that does the trick. If it doesn't, adjust that little screw so your throttle body doesn't close quite as much.

dont mess with the screw till you clean the throttle body good first. Resetting that screw can be a real pain if you had to adjust it back.
