Mend Revving Petrol Engine

over revving?

How can I stop my V8 petrol engine from over-revving on tickover ?

sorry - not enough info... Its a Ford Econoline 5.8 EFI (1994) with LPG conversion. I've removed the air by-pass valve and cleaned it.. this temporarily seemed to cure the high tickover, but although symptoms HAVE altered (some deviation on tickover at times now) the over-revving (on LPG or petrol) is still apparent, but spasmodic..sometimes idles normally other times 1500 rpm. I've cleaned and sprayed wd40 on all connections and there is no friction on the throttle cable.
