I believe that the problem could be caused by a small hose, a vacuum hose or something like that near by the throtle.... not so sure though!

It would help If i knew what you were driving.

Some things that it could be:
throttle linkage
alternator
fuel pump
fuel injectors (if equipped)
carbuerator (if equipped)

Those are some ideas, I could narrow it down more if I knew what engine you're dealing with.

different cars require different diagnostic methods ..........start by telling us year and model.........but it sounds like a fast idle valve leaking by , idle too high, vacc leak..

DH ,
I can't believe they censored your new 'logo'. That's downright Orwellian. I thought this was America.
