exactly what happens when it sticks...my accufab will stick when i first start up the car and by this i mean its got a hard spot at the very beginning of pushing the pedal..i have to stab it once every time i start it...i was told it was because of vaccum pressure

I could feel my BBK stick when it was fully closed and I tried to accelerate slowly. I opened the butterfly a little (maybe 1/8 of a turn on the set screw) and it went away. This didn't affect the idle at all since the IAC controls the idle. I also took the plastic insert out of my throttle return spring.

The same exact thing was happening to me when I put a BBK on, it bugged the hell out of me. I cleaned it out but it didn't help. Put a new tb cable in and no more sticking.
Extremely common problem with both mac and bbk t/b's I have seen it a hundred times and if you look on bbk's website under tech concerns they will tell you its normal due to an increase in the surface area on the t/b blade allowing more negative pressure which inturn creates a flat spot untill you actually move the throttle. many people have tried many differrent solutions but the bottom line is 75mm is to big for an na car with no pa. On another note I have an accufab t/b and have no issues at all quality does play a part as ac stated above Chris

I have a BBK TB/Plenum. I noticed that the throttle stuck a little when the motor was running but not when is wasn't. I opened the hood and operated the throttle manually. It stuck only when going from full closed to open using a light throttle movement. I used the set screw and opened the butterfly valve slightly to get rid of the vacumn lock. Problem solved. On an old carburator system I would have thought I was changing the idle. But on our Mustangs the idle is controled by the IAC.
