I have the same thing with my Fastback. I was tuning it yesterday and
noticed after I opened the throttle and let it go, it would stay at about
1200 or so RPM. I found that by twisting the linkage closed it would slow
the idle, but I couldn't see what was causing it to stick open.

I was going to try lubricating the throttle cable today and see if that made
any difference.
