Idle Speed Suddenly Too Fast - Advice Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

For seemingly no reason at all, my 300SE (W126) has decided to idle at ~ 1200 rpm instead of her usual 600 rpm. She does this hot and cold. Apart from that she is running and performing as before. What's going on, where do I start looking to slow her back down?

All help and comments greatly recieved :) Mike

Check for simple mechanical possibilities - that the throttle linkage has free movement over its range and that - don't laugh, it's happened - the floor mat isn't pressing the accelerator.
