High rev, rough idle in golf

I have a 1997 volkswagen golf with a regular 1.8l engine. at cold start after 10-20 seconds of regular idle at around 1000rpm, the car will automatically rev to 3000-3500rpm and stay at this rpm until warm. the when warm will have a rough idle between 750-1000rpm. i have been told 3 different options.

    figured out the problem after almost $60 at the dealership for a part. its classified as a flange gasket, but in basic terms is known as a throttle plate spacer gasket. replaced it and the car has been fine now for a while.

Not reving high on cold start
Here is the most common cause of surges and stalls and low idle, it is the idle speed control air-bypass valve and throttle valve (IAC for short), they get full of gunk over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake

Check the turbo pipes for internal splitting , this will block air flowing through to the engine. Also check if a catalitic convertor is fitted , this could be blocked.
