Update: car is awesome, I love it.
So, Daniel (the PO) read this thread after I linked him to it and commented that he's cleaned out the TB before, and he hinted that at times when he drove it he'd have to put his foot under the accelerator and nudge it up a little at the top of its travel when the idle did what its doing to me.
Sure enough, I give it a shot at a light and the idle drops back to normal from like 2k. Huzzah! So where should I look? Sounds like the pedal assembly is sticking somewhere...I've heard of sticking throttles before but what would y'all recommend beyond spraying wd40 into the footwell. Any kind of special area and grease I should focus on/use? TIA.
