Best way is to clean the TB, if that doesnt work try a new throttle cable. You can lube the current cable but the problem will most likely come back very soon.

i just take the intake hose of and give it a clean out with a rag (if its really dirty) but be careful not to get any thing into the manifold, and then d=start teh engine and spray carby cleaner (or throttle body cleaner) in to the TB while revving the engine to get it in past the throttle plate aswell.

Or have a look here as well :
