Pinch the air regulator hose. See if it makes a difference. Or it might be your AAC valve

sounds like the throttle cable doesn't have any freeplay in it which it needs to operate under all conditions. make sure its just enough slack so you are able to bump the throttle a mm or two without it changing rpm. what has happened is the TPS (throttle position switch) has been activated causing the spark advance to shoot up which is causing the high idle. as the trusty RB has a very old and slow idle management system, it may not be able to correct the idle speed quickly enough. when the engine is warm (4 minutes), check the ignition timing if possible and you may notice it sits on 25-30 BTDC. if thats the case, either the TPS needs adjusting or the throttle cable needs some slack in it.
