Has anyone had a problem with the TB sticking at idle position after an engine holdback/high vacuum condition?

Never had a 2.4 but on my 3.0l the butterfly sticks in the bore if the idle screw is set too low. Maybe your idle screw is worn/misadjusted try turning it clockwise slighty.
Currently have that problem. Strange thing is that it comes and goes. It's very slight, but if it happens in traffic it's pretty annoying.

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
I find that use the adjustment screw and crack the throttle plate open just a little helps the throttle body unstuck.
Exactly. Maybe I wasn't clear in my post above but by "idle screw" I meant the throttle stop screw. There is a plug covering it. I use a wood screw to get the plug out. Use a hammer to get the wood screw to poke through the plug, then screw it in with a screwdriver until it pops out. You can then use a screwdriver to adjust the idle/throttle stop screw until the butterfly stops sticking.
Also, have you cleaned the TB lately? This helps in many cases.

A man has got to know his limitations.....
I more concerned with a light throttle stutter/missing problem that the car has right now! I have noticed it is more apparent after the engine reaches operating temp!
On the misfire problem, a code FINALLY decided to set (P0301) What is puzzling me is, the misfire happens more so with little to no boost and at part throttle!
I did notice when I replaced the spark plugs not too long ago that there was some oil in the #1 spark plug galley. I wonder if the valve cover seal for the #1 plug leaking some oil might be a cause for a misfire? Hmmmmm!
