a2 throttle sticking

Hi guys,

I just bought a 92 Jetta for my winter beater. The car had been sitting for about 5 months before I bought it, and as a result the throttle sticks a little bit. I'm 99% its the cable that binding a bit. I tried to lube it at the top (on the throttle body) but it didn't help.

Does anyone know what the fix for this is? do I have to replace it?

Replace it... you can get it for as cheap as $20

Sticking as in the throttle plate stays open? If so then just clean the inside with a carb cleaner and lube the throttle plate pivots.

could also be the springs that are stiff due to rust.
