Very much sounds like you've broken the throttle plate return spring. Its the spring that wraps around the throttle plate right next to where the intake tube goes into the motor. You can operate the throttle plate by hand to check it. If theres no resistance and it just flops then its broken. I don't have a pic I can send. I hope this helps
