Ford Fiesta throttle sticky?

[pototo]

My Fiesta runs too fast and slowly returns to normal idle when i rev it up.It has a single point injection carb which i have just replaced,along with electronics attatched to it.The symptoms are still the same.what have i missed?Thanks Nick.

Sounds like the throttle cable is not returning properly, is there a spring return missing or is the cable twisted or kinked, may need a new cable? Try disconnecting the cable and rev the engine manually to see if it then works ok. Check that all manifold/carb nuts and bolts are tight and that air is not leaking past the gaskets and all pipes are clear.
