I have a 01 Mazda tribute 2.0l 2wh/dr,5sp,pwr pckg.(No Fault Codes)in excellent shape ,proper service intervals ,runs great! 233,000kms(145,000miles)  
I replaced the I.A.C. ,huge vacuum leak also repaired.but still have a couple issues.

1. revs to 4000 rpm at startup ,then returns to a smooth idle.  
2.when driving ,i take my foot off throttle and still maintains throttle setting for a couple of seconds.  
i cant find any other vacuum leaks at all.  
any ideas ,TPS maybe?

Throttle cable could be frayed or binding. See a mechanic ASAP.
