89 dodge omni HIGH IDLE

I have an 89 dodge omni (automatic) 2.2 liter straight 4, with possibly 80k+ (meter is possibly broken). when the car runs "even after letting run for a short while" the car has a high idle in park of between 1500 and 2000 rmps which go up and down (vaccum leak?). I've had this problem before with a 95 saturn sw2, and the mechanic told me "he cleaned out the manifold and the throttle body of carbon"
also when i drive the car it clunks into gear and drives much faster than normal, but ill note that the accelerator pedal might need to be replaced since it is very loose, but the car will accelerate to 15 mph on its own
anyone have an idea of what this could be, and what a solution would be?

i think you answered your own question. to me the accelerator pedal problem is related to your high idle.
check your accelerator cable. sounds like is seizing up somewhere
