Was gonna say air leak,. Get some easy start, spray it around the inlet gaskets and pipe work etc. When the engine note changes, you have found your leak.

As above can't do the speed without the air, maybe a sticky throttle cable/linkage ?

As said will be an air leak, my money would be on the plenum gasket, be do check the said throttle is not getting stuck open a tad which would cause this.

Fair enough, that usually only happens though when the lock nut is not tightened down correctly.
