Default st 170 sticking accelerator

Durring this cold snap, my accelerator is sticking but only when first going on the power, i.e after coming off the power and then back on.
I had the same problem last year durring a cold spell but it clears when the weather is'nt freezing.

I've had a look at it and i have narrowed it down the the throttle body as i can feel the resistance, though it only sticks when the engine is running.
Thats made me think its caused by something to do with the air flow/air temp when its freezing out.

I have tried cleaning the current throttle body with no joy.

Anybody have any advice on this before i order a new throttle body ?

Also is this the correct parts number for a st170 throttle body - 1143343.

Cheers in advance
