Okay, this is just screwed up.  After my prior post, my friend and I
decided we were going to clean it, since it seemed a bit sticky.  Half a
can of brake cleaner, and a quarter can of carburetor cleaner later, we
had a throttle body that was /much/ cleaner, and actually moved properly,
returning to the proper positioning.

I started the van up, after letting it dry for about half an hour... and
it now idles at about 850rpm.

Should this concern me as much as it does?
