Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec - Cuts off with RPM up and down

My wife's Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec 1999, cuts off with the RPM going up and down. We have changed all possible parts with the advise of local mechanic,but none helped solve this issue. The worse part is, it cuts off on the road, locking the steering and causing BIG PROBLEMs..!! Please advise a solution.

The butterfly in the air intake "valve" below the air filter should be striped and cleaned then lubricated, there is a buildup of dust and the flap sticks.
