I have a 92 Prelude and its an automatic and for some time now I have what I call a sticky idle. Mainly because once I touch the gas ... it acts as if I am still pushing on it for about 5 seconds or so. Usually to prevent it I just throw it into neutral to shut it up. But It becomes annoying and with the gas prices I kno it's hurting me. The pedal doesn't stick @ all. It just has a steady idle of about 1200 or so. Sometimes in fact it does it right as I switch into gear with out even touching the gas. I have never heard of any 1 else with this problem but 8in case someone may know the answer, any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance...

does it feel like it is hesitating? is that what you mean?

 

Nope it just feels literally like a sticky idle. Almost like if you didnt actually look down you would think the pedal was still down a little bit. Someone had suggested to me to remove the throttle body and see if theres anything built up around the butterfly making that stick...
