Peugeot 206 revs high immediately on starting

Car: Peugeot 206
Variant: 16 valve Sport
Model Year: 2004
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
As soon as the car is started from cold it goes straight up to near maximum revs before dropping back down to normal.
Once warmed up the idle speed becomes erratic.
There are no warning lights on.

Will try them as soon as I get chance( I'm working late at the moment).
Thanks.

Cleaned the throttle body but cannot locate the idle control valve, it's not on the throttle body like some Peugeots. Bought a s/h Haynes manual and that's not much use either, the throttle body shown isn't the same
