For a while I could just tap the pedal and it would drop back to 0%. It progressively got worse the more I drove it. I cleaned the bores, throttle blades and lubed the shafts and that helped a little. In the end it took adding an additional light return spring to get it to return to 0% all the time. It didn't effect the throttle pedal feel at all. I haven't got to drive it as much as usual this fall though because it's been down since September with suspension damage.

Sorry for the novel just though it might save you a few steps if you run into the same issue.
I appreciate the input.
