A sudden high idle

1988 244 Automatic 125K

While driving tonight the car suddenly would not drop below about 1500 rpm at what was supposed to be idle.

A couple of times it dropped down but then would pick up again.

When I pulled it into the garage and turned it off and then restarted it seemed to idle fine.

I am too tired to chase it tonight. Other than checking the throttle position switch, and perhaps cleaning the idle control motor what should I be looking at?

Thanks,
Randy
