Or an air leak in one of the hoses that connect to the plenum.

A pedal to steer the rear

Sure sounds like the thermostatic idle-up valve under the throttle body.
Yes, you can take it off and make up a blanking plate to bolt on in its
place. Just make sure the air ports are blocked off, and loop the two
little water hoses. Set your idle with the idle air screw, and you will just
find that your hot idle is a bit higher than your cold idle.
