Check the plastic guide at the end of the throttle cable where the return spring is at the Throttle Body. Mine did the same thing. Found the cable guide part broken and the pieces were just laying inside the spring and jamming the cable. Ford wants $80 for a new cable. I'm trying to figure a way around it.

I don't think it would be the Idle Air Control valve might make the idle speed go screwey, but I'm not sure it'd hold it at two grand. I'm still thinking throttle body stuff sticking. I'd try cleaning one with some starting fluid or carb cleaner before trying to replace it. These often go bad because they get dirty.

^ The EGR is disabled and the heads are non-emission so no exahust gases are getting up to the t-body. The intakes, throttle body and EGR were new when installed (roughly a year ago). Aside from the IAC being sticky, it's possible that a vacuum leak can cause this problem as well.
