In our case it was the water temperature sensor. These can go in two ways, either it thinks the water is to hot (ie overheating) & the fans continuously go or it thinks that the car is still very cold & the revs just keep rising. Ours was idling at 1,800RPM 
If the car likes to cut out as well and won't start a tell tale sign is a smell of fuel as it will run very rich by putting more fuel in & flood occasionally by thinking it's still on a cold start.
Hope this helps & hope you get it sorted
