Delayed Rpm Drop When Throttle Closed

My 1994 325ic has 1.5 to 2.0 second delayed when throttle closed. Occurs in gear, out of gear and at all speeds.

My 1994 325ic does not promptly drop to idle RPM when throttle is closed. This occurs in gear, out of gear and at all speeds. It prevents normal gear shifting synchronization both up and down. It delays engine braking when off gas. It causes the engine to hunt in cruise control. Etc. The delay is about 1.5-2.0 seconds before the engine responds to the closed throttle. It acts much like a sticky throttle cable, with rpm's slowly mushing down instead of dropping sharply. (The linkage appears to be free and clicks smartly against the throttle stop when manually opened and released.)

I'll appreciate any thoughts. Thanks. Z
