TB and IAC lubrication...

Hi, Dean,
I lubed the IAC with a couple of squirts of WD40, but, the TB was so clean that I didn't lube the pivots on it.
The problem has been evident since I purchased the car (about 6 months). I cleaned the IAC and the TB (just wiped the TB off, really) in order to try to solve this problem, but, there was no improvement. Actually, the IAC wasn't very dirty either - just had a light coat of some soot-like material inside that disolved fairly well once sprayed liberally with carb cleaner.
I don't know if this is really related, but, by comparison to other cars I've driven/owned (Audi, VW, BMW, Porsche, etc.) this car seems to have relatively slow throttle response to begin with. I find myself having to be more aggressive with the throttle and - actually 'leading' it - in order to account for the delay (1/4 to half of a second, maybe) when blipping the throttle or revving from a standstill. Is this typical? I've owned 2 of these (nearly identical '95 900SETs) and I vaguely remember the other one having almost the exact same characteristics. Of course, I don't want to chase a problem that doesn't exist, so, am I just being too critical?
Indeed Jeremy, and PMI, I'll give the TPS a try, too. It's cheap enough (under $50 from e-Europarts), so, it's an inexpensive place to start. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks very much for all of your help!
