Ford Fiesta erratic throttle during warm up
Variant: 1.2 petrol
Model Year: 1995
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
From cold the throttle seems to rev its self without the accelerator pedal being touched. This symptom diminishes as the engine reaches operating temp. The over reving occurs intermittently after warm up but only occassionally. Changing down gear whilst in motion causes throttle to go back to idle.
Is this a faulty sensor, such as air-idle speed control valve, irbox air intake temp sensor etc.

Sounds very much like what you are suggesting, as in the throttle body and temp sensor...
