throttle body slack??

[diamondsm]

.i have been working on trying to get this damn thing to idle for the past week it starts and runs smooth but it will not stay running



I took off the throttle body to clean it up and replace the gaskets while doing so i noticed that if i move the throttle in and out i have a decent amount of slack in between the throttle plate and the throttle body i was wondering if this is normal??

I took a video but its not loading here is a YouTube link : [ame=http://youtu.be/PYrawcABHtw]0115131256 1 - YouTube[/ame]

I can't see the plate move independently of the throttle body -- it all looks like it's moving around at the same time. It looks like the entire video is rippling like water. Can you take better video, or do I need to get my eyes checked?

it didn't look like that when i put it up but do you get the basic idea of where it is?? i just need to know if its normal for that to move at all??

i have another intake manifold with the throttle body attached and it doesn't seem to move although i didn't take it off the manifold and look in side while moving it
