When I press the throttle nothing happens then it springs into life for a little bit when I removed the air filter tube it was black inside the butterfly value
A lot of the newer Volvo and Ford cars have Electronic Accelerator / throttle pedals fitted which play up when worn.
Many complete Accelerator pedals are compatible with the Ford Focus cars in the UK.

You will need a 16 flute removal tool, laser tools do one about £5
Yes, having no thermostat can cause the car to run fast as it will still be set in it's "warm up" mode and will be injecting a richer mixture of fuel/air into the cylinders. There may be an additional cold start injector that just works while the engine is cold. You will probably use more fuel like this. It's not a great idea to run with no thermostat anyway because you get uneven hot and cold spots around the engine which is bad for it. Cheers
