I recently replaced the engine in my 2000 buick park ave, the 3.8l engine I put back had 13,000 miles on it and runs great but I noticed when I had the engine on the stand that the throttle linkage seemed to stick closed a little bit but I figured it was from sitting and would probably stop on its own. Now with 2000 miles on the swap there is no difference in the throttle. Whats strange is that the throttle only sticks closed slightly when the car has been sitting long enough to run in the store or something and that once you push the throttle one time it will not stick again until the car has been sitting for a while again.
