When I had an intermittent high idle, a worn out throttle cable caused me to
chase my tail adjusting the position switch.  When the symptom first
appeared, a quick blip of the throttle would settle things down until the
operation of the throttle became so stiff that the problem was obvious.  At
first, I thought no problem and I lubricated the cable with some miracle
drug.  This was pointless because the cable had failed in such a way that its
jacket had bunched up in the sheath.
