2007 JKU, 3.8L - Throttle body, drive-by-wire question.

I have another thread started trying to solve a misfire issue ( https://wayalife.com/showthread.php...-leak-video-link-attached&p=886448#post886448 )

So I was trying to clean up my throttle body and then use the Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner however the throttle body blade is not moving at all when I press it (I am not going to force or pry it) Around 1500 rpm the plate is hardly open and around 2000-2200 rpm the plate is opened perhaps wide enough to squeeze a quarter under it (maybe not even that much) Is this standard for this type of drive-by-wire throttle body assemblies or is mine not functioning correctly? I have cleaned this in the past without any issues I don't remember ever having trouble opening the TB blade up though, just hesitant because I do not want to damage the gears of it.
