Help a weird problem with a car we have

Alright my brother has a 1986 REX and when you start it up it idles a little high and then drops down to normal after a minute of running. Then as soon as it does go down to about 1,200 RPM it will rev it's self it is quit funny but weird when someone comes to look at the car also when you push the button on the end of the TPS all the way in it will stop reving it's self. Does anyone know what it wrong with the car. Thanks in advance.


Cory

The high idle when cold is normal, but the revving is not. Adjust the TPS.
