so you've checked the vacuum pipe that goes from the inlet manifold to the ecu. mine perished the otherside of the bulkhead just before the ecu and was doing exactly what you're describing. you can't see it unless you remove the scuttle panel.

Take the intake pipe off and press the butterfly closed with your finger whilst engine is running.

What size is this pipe?  Just want to order some to replace.

Check and see if the throttle linkage or cable is sticking.
