it's possible you have a dodgy temp guage connecting to you ECU. If it's faulty it might start registering your engine at alot colder than it should (-13) in my case a few years ago. This results in the ECU telling the car to dump more fuel into your engine, hence the high revs!! it sounds like a problem i had as when the ECU was connected to a laptop the temp went from anywhere between 60 to -25 randomly! hope this helps.

Hi there, i had the same problem with my 306 meridian.The problem your having is being caused by the air bypass solenoid which is responsible for the amount of air required for the mixture.These can be purchased off ebay for about £30.The solenoid is situated at the rear of the throttle body, just above the throttle position sensor.Remove it and try cleaning it first, hopefully this will help.
