F355 Sticky throttle

My 1997 F355 idles fine until I drive it. Once driving, the RPM stays high even when I press the clutch in. Is this a sticky throttle issue or choke issue? If its the throttle, how do I access the linkage to lube. Any help would be appreciated!!

Bosch Motronic, possibly. But, also possible it's "just" a mechanical issue that needs an easy fix.

I'd put the rear deck lid up, while idling, and manually blip the throttle to see if it persists. There are (or ought to be) springs to shut the throttle. Make sure they're connected and not worn.

BTW, there are F-centric websites that I would suggest you make your inquiry on.

You'll get more subject matter expertise there. I'm not a tech. Just a long-term owner.
