IACV setup with pscan?

If so that might be the cause of your problem, on the early Fs with the plastic throttle body, the damned things would eventually warp slightly when warm, trapping the butterfly valve and causing a high, idle.........and with a quick tap of the accelerator it might settle to a proper idle again.
The fix is to bin the plastic rubbish and fit an alloy one.

As the throttle cable is so short, in comparison with our cars, it’s less likely to be sticking, although a squeg of lubricant might help.

When I used to drive the car it would at times, gradually increase its idle speed all the way up to 2000 RPM. It would be worse if I put a some load on the engine whilst at idle (for example, drive up a slope on idle).
The way that I had to "reset" it was to stamp hard on the accelerator, just briefly and equally suddenly let it decelerate to idle.
Since my daughter has started driving it daily, it just doesn't happen.
My feeling is that something was sticking in the idle control system, and the sudden deceleration from high revs to idle was unsticking it.

I ask to MG Rover forum and they told me about the setup of the step motor with a tool, that's why I asked here because I have the pscan
