ESCORT OVER REVVING

Ive got a escort cabriolet auto 1996 and i have major over revving problems and cannot get to the cause of it. I can drive down the road at over 40mph without using the eccelerator which in turn makes it very hard to brake as i am constantly fighting against the engine. The rev's sit between 1500-3000, Can anybody help???

Idle control valve is sticking, or the throttle linkage is stuck. Use the clutch when braking and it'll save wear on the pads.

Apparently 'banjo string' is a nickname for the frenulum (or frenum, plural: frenula or frena.) Hmm.
