Happened to me once ... in my 88 9000 turbo

it was the throttle cable, where it connects to the throttle body.
In the 88, it's a braided steel cable, with no sheath or anything. Some of the cable's wires had cracked and unwound. The motion of the cable caused those strands to interfere with the operation of the throttle (i.e. not closing properly). Trimmed the broken strands, and it went back to normal operation. I haven't changed the cable yet, but I definitely take a peek at it every time the hood is open.
