Redline at start?

Finally got my car running, and it shot up to 3k RPM's and fluctuated between 3k and 3.5k, i let it run for about a minute like that, it just didn't seem right.

A day later, (today) i couldn't get the engine started, so i tried to pull start it. The car started instantly but jumped up to redline and just sat there. We tried again, same thing.

I checked my throttle cable/linkage and the actual throttle body. The throttle plates open and close normally, and when the throttle is let off all the way, the plates are open a tiny bit like they should be.

So what should i do?
