When you post a request for technical advise please construct a meaningful Subject line. In this case Throttle Sticks conveys more useful information than some help.

Perhaps your engine's problem is caused by dirt in the throttle body. You may clean the throttle body by removing the air duct and gently rubbing the now-exposed throttle body interior with a lintless rag or a toothbrush moistened with carburetor cleaner. Hold the throttle open with your left hand while you rub with your right hand.

On a high-mileage car a metal "step" may form where the throttle blade closes against the throttle body throat. This may be addressed with a fine abrasive such as emery cloth.
