Ok, as for the high rev I am assuming you are talking about the accelerated warm up which is perfectly normal. As for the car not starting after you shut it off...are you driving it and then shutting it off or just shutting it off while its warming up(revving high as you said)? As SD said, sounds like its flooding.

that fuse will un-power your fuel injectors so u can unflood your motor. basicaly crank when the fuse is removed and the compression will push the fuel out without injecting any into it.
Then replace your EGI fuse and crank without using the throttle.
If that dosent work time to pull your plugs and clean them off.then try again.

If you turn it on and shut it off right away, it could be flooded. Try the deflooding procedures.
