Does that have the cable operated throttle body?

If so, have you checked that the cable is not sticking at all? And the pedal is releasing fully.

But I have just seen that these cars seem to use an idle control valve. If this is sticking (common fault), that would do it.

It will be near the throttle body, & may look like this:

Any help?
