   Icv needs cleaning if that doesn`t work then the icv needs renewing.

   check the throttle cable isnt caught or anything simple. Air leaks on the inlet will also cause high revving - so spray carb cleaner round it anywhere suspect on it and listen for a change in revs
   Also has the ICV has reset and returned to the normal position.

   You've got a vacuum leak. 100%.
   
   First place to check is the plastic bit which tees off for your brake servo. do the brakes feel heavy?
   
   Do a smoke test on it, basically you blow cigar smoke down the inlet and see where it comes out. engine off of course

    Any ideas why that would be?
    
    I didn't realise a fully open ICV would let the car rev so hard.
