then you probably need a new throttle cable...

for the time being take the yellow/green wire mounted to the kickdownswitch and make a new wire to it wich is connected to a earth, that will get you driving without high rpm's... for overtaking simply press the low gear hold switch for the same effect.

you need to look in the cabin, above the gaspedal; there is a contact with the yellow/green wire; that's the one you need to ground

Maybe you have a clip missing? Maybe that end of the cable could be disassembled and cleaned up? Sorry can't remember everything (I've just got up! sm1 )
