This is *not* normal.  It's the precise symptom of a faulty
throttle-position switch.  On the throttle body you have either two
switches, one of which must close at idle and the other at full throttle;
or else a single switch with a cam that does the same thing.  If yours is
not closing at idle, you'll get this same problem.
