I had this symptom after a transmission swap.  Turns out that I had 
stressed the throttle cable such that the cable's outer sheath was 
forced out of the metal sleeve at the engine-end of the cable (where it 
mates with the bracket in front of the throttle-spool assembly). This 
caused a fast-idle and prevented the achievement of WOT.  I just pushed 
the cable back into place and all was well..
