a weak return spring, binding linkage, or a bad motor mount can cause that problem. or a combination of all three

How does a bad motor mount do that?

I don't even understand the question. In neutral? On the freeway? Is the car not supposed to go to idle after tapping the gas?

Are you talking about hesitation?
