    Seriously, that's what it is. I wasn't trying to be 'glib.'

    You have at least one cylinder, that when the idle knob is screwed in enough to produce an idle, is opening TOO far and causing that cylinder to "respond to throttle" (the slide actually starts to lift) causing your condition.

    When you back the knob all the way off, that one (or more) is/are now closing, but the OTHERS are closed too far to be able to produce an idle.
