have a look in the engine bay where the throttle cable attatches to the throttle body and try and close it that end. i'm guessing the cable is stuck from what you have said

Same thing happen me once. intake leak can cause this. does it rev up and down on its own. also ICV i changed on mine sorted problem out straight away. clean valves on throttle body. if not any them then yes also could be cable itself

Your car doesn't have a Carb, its injection. you mean the throttle body (the butterfly valve) should be fine now its cleaned up.

Yes that's the one mate. Is it just an age thing that it gets stuck or is it the start of a different problem.
