Sticking throttle, high idle

OK, so I brought the 1974 911 with the 3.2 home today after 6 months of restoration. It looks stunning and runs amazing. One issue. When I get to traffic lights, it wants to idle at 1400 - 1600. Obviously too high. So, I can fix this by gently lifting up the accelerator pedal. It will pull up about 1/16 to 1/8 of and inch and the idle drops right down to a smooth 500, even when I release the pedal. However, once I drive to the next light, the idle is high again until I lift the accelerator pedal ever so slightly. Somewhere, something is binding just a little when I let my foot off the gas. What should I do?
