Are you using heavy aceleration in 1st, and 2nd? Induction kit, or standard airbox?

Too much air going through the mass airflow meter causes high idle in my 1.6.
I find that if I've been flooring it in 1-3 I get high idle. Turn the engine of for about 10 seconds and turn back on again and it clears.
I was told by a shop that it was a common fault, and not to worry about it.

try the easy things first...
Reset ECU (unplug battery for a minute)
if that fails....
Clean things like MAF, ICV with carb cleaner
