Didn't get one of those in the states but I'll take a stab at it. First check that the throttle arm isn't sticking. That wouldn't make the idle climb but it would make it hang. A little WD-40 on the pivot usually fixes that. I'm not aware of any temp sensors that have any control over the non TDI pumps. For the idle to increase, you need more fuel. The only things that would do that is some kind of restriction or such happening in the pump, or oil getting sucked into the intake. Check for using proper oil, clogged breather in the valve cover, dirty air or fuel filter, air in the fuel line, etc. Loren
