Sounds like a phenomenon called Super Atkinson Highway Mode. I've searched in vain for SAHM in my cars, but can't hold it very long. I think it's found/held easiest by holding the TPS at a specific value over idle position (i.e., 8 over 12 TPS idle, or 20 TPS), or keeping IGN advance high (>40). Google SAHM Atkinson.
