You did't provide the year/make/model/engine, but...The throttle cable/ throttle spring can be faulty/sticking. Another possibility is there is an air leak, after the throttle blades that is allowing the engine rpms to be high at idle. You can check vacuum line to the intake manifold for damage or the AIC (air idle control valve) for being stuck open.
