7M-GTE crazy revving problem...

Guys-
I have a 7M-GTE powered mkII supra. Today, I was driving casually to a friends house, and as I put my foot on the clutch to change into 4th (at around 60kmh) the engine went crazy and the revs shot off towards 6100rpm. I turned the car off (rolling down the road) and started it again- was fine.
Then, a few blocks later, it happened again.
I found it had less chance of happening when I made sure my accelator was COMPLETELY out before depressing the clutch-
However, it did it once more, and again I turned the engine off- however this time when I start the engine it instantly begins it's mad race towards the redline- thus rendering the car undrivable.
The RACV came, pulled the 3000 pipe off, and had a look around the throttle plate- and thinks he freed something up, and suspects something jammed the plate. We found a tiny piece of plastic, but didn't want to start the car again in case the larger bit of forgein matter had fallen down the engine side of the plate, and was nestling in the engine.
Does this sound like an object in the throttle issue? Could my TPS be fucked? Why did it occur on gearchanges, anything to do with the clutch?
My mechanic is going to look at it tomorrow hopefully, but any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers,
Ryley
