Hi ive got a niggling problem with a sticking throttlle , its not the pedal as ive tested it at the throttle body ,the niggling thing is that its perfect when the engines off , and only sticks when its running (between tickover and 3000rpm), there is also an electrical humm from the tb area , has anybody any ideas why only with the engine running ????

Is this the old gummed up throttle body problem or something similar?
