Wind up to shift gear dosen't want to come back down. 1984 190d

When I wind my car up my car to shift gears the engine (throttle) doest't want to come back down. If I shift from second to third when I come out of second the engine does not want to settle back down, it stays at the rpm I was at when I came out of second. When I get to third and let the clutch out that brings the engine back down to idle and everything is o.k. This is the same for every gear I go through. I know there is a long spring down around the IP, and I'm wondering if maybe that spring has got weak and will not pull the throttle back down. I hope its that simple. I will appreciate any advice. Thanks.
