Default help!! escort gti over revving

Please can some body help??
Got an r reg 1.8 escort gti,had problems with car not ticking over very well,was told it was the idle speed control valve so changed that today but now revs surges between 1800 & 2000 rpm on tickover & when changing gear car revs as though foot still on gas!!!!!!
is it right there is no adjustment for tickover?
