I can't believe this was not noticed until now. I've included a link below to a video I made to help explain what I'm looking at.

Would this indicate a stuck throttle valve as Dominic Hide suggests? I feel a positive stop when depressing the rod and it springs back up to the top again. Possibly a bent bracket on the throttle body that bbrocksr mentioned? 1" of travel doesn't seem to be enough to operate.
I feel like this is getting close. |
With the pan off work the lever by hand and watch the valve movement.
Spring pressure will hold the valve against the lever and the lever against the L shaped stop. The L shaped stop bracket is the bracket I referred to .
I have seen them get bent toward the valve holding the lever and the valve in slightly increasing the pressure
