<E36> stiff throttle

["Kevin Jay (Mr.Fabulous)" <jayk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

a few weeks ago somebody posted a note about the stiffness of the throttle in
an E36.  i've found this to be the case as well, both in my car and the others
i've driven.  so today i set about to lube it.  lubed the cable.  lubed the
linkage at the t-body.  lubed the pivots at the pedal.  lubed everything.... 
and it made little difference.  so i decided it was just to tightly sprung,
and disconnected the return spring at the pedal.  *much better*.  maybe this
removes a bit of redundancy... but i don't believe i've ever seen the return
spring in a trottle body fail, so i feel pretty safe.
