C3 - High rev's when the weather's hot...

2002 Citroen C3 1.4SE
Car: Citroen C3
Year: 2002
Variant: 1.4SE
Hi - hope someone can give me a pointer - I drive a Citroen C3 - whenever the weather is hot, and the car's been stood in the heat, the engine idles at very high rev's - Wednesday these hit 3000 RPM - the only way i can stop it running so fast is to pull the accelerator pedal back with my toe.

Can anyone suggest what this might be and the best way to get it resolved.

Thanks.
