Throttle return spring mystery solved.
Okay, here's the deal:
Talked to a parts guy this afternoon. He is smart. He told me that
assembly line streamlining from 2005 on mandated that the offensive
primary throttle return spring be eliminated. Sort of.
In the 05/06 TJ's, there are two springs: one in the throttle body, one
on the automatic transmission linkage. For those of us with 6-sp.
transmissions, well, we get to suck it up and do without. As he
stated, "You're tough: you can take it."
Well, I'm tough, but I can't take it. I paid serious bucks for this
horse, and I want all of the springs I'm entitled to! So, today, I
made a pilgramage to the local OSH for a look-see, and ended up filling
the gap quite nicely. My throttle response now works as expected.
More information is available at:

Check Hidalgo's Private Garage for the information you seek. If this
was DC's idea of cost-cutting measures, I am not amused.

Re: Throttle return spring mystery solved.
Are they required on vehicles with throttle bodies?
It isn't like the old days when a broken spring would result in an over
revved motor.....throttle bodies have no control over the fuel supply.
