Racing Engine syndrome

88 900 5 speed turb0
Engine idles fine at 900 rpm
Then for no apparent reason it will push 2000 rpm and sit there, racing.
This happens when cold, when hot - sitting still, rolling down the road.
Swapped in known good AIC AMM, ECU ... all vacuum hoses are good - idles fine - sometimes .... No O2 sensor on this car.
By process of elimination I think all that's left to replace is the Throttle Position sensor -
Any insight appreciated!
