Default Sticky Throttle

I just installed my own DIY air intake and now my throttle is sticking. It's fine for just normal around town driving, but when I step on it it sticks. I'm guessing it has to do with the TB & my new intake but I don't know much about it. Any suggestions? I checked and they are not hitting or rubbing on my intake at all.

What do you mean its sticking? Like the throttle isnt released when you take your foot off?

You may want to call Toyota .... heard they had the same situation. J/K.

Im guessing somethings getting caught on the intake or something. If it didnt have the problem before, the intake shouldnt have changed anything.
