Is it a turbo diesel engine? Kind regards, Erik-Jan.

its just a bsic unleaded fuel 6 cyl
In that case I do not know. With diesel engines a worn turbo can give this problem. Maybe someone else in this group. Kind regards, Erik-Jan.
Stuck throttle?
Stuck throttle would be my guess too. Check the throttle cable housing, and the throttle linkage with the engine off in the morning. Do this by hand and see if it returns to the idle position without binding. Do this before you warm up the engine.
Our 94 Trooper got a recall something about the throttle possibly sticking...any chance the Rodeo could be the same? Though you probably would have gotten a recall notice if it had been...

We're all assuming manual transmission here, but the poster didn't say.
If this is an auto, it's transmission "flare" -- not an engine problem.
