It's got to be mechanical. Check over the cable and throttle body good.

There's a good reason they always have the battery disconnect as the first step.

If you didn't let any smoke out, or even if you did I can't see how the light circuit would be tied into any engine management features. The plates have to be staying open somehow.

 

I think thats your car's way of telling you that it doesn't like rice!

 

My car does that on cold starts sometimes, give it a few and it should come down, if not tap the throttle, if that doesnt work put in in gear and try driving.

 

could not have put that better any other way

 

Sounds like you dropped something on the throttle body and the plates are stuck open.

 

hehehe i knew id get a lil flamed !!!! lol i dont like em either but i like the chrome part of it ..... not dull 15yr old black rubber u know?? n e ways ....
i didnt even touch the tb with air from my mouth... lol im dumb but nothing got near the tb or cable ... i figited with the throttle cable and nothing.... i even tapped the gas when starting up and all it did was go up in rpm's then go right back down to 5k

weird predicament im in.....huh? never heard n e thing like this before!!! ill take off the tb elbow and see what i got??
n e more input guys?? it would sure be appreciated..

See if the pedal adjustment came lose and moved the pedal to the floor.

 

weird but it kind of fixed itself... i started the car in reverse... and it still sky rocketed but i started to drive in reverse and it took like 10 secs but it kinda jammed itself loose or something(tb plates) just my guess
thanks guys

dude, my tII did the same thing, its the throttle cable, mine went up to 6k ... iw as like uhh wtf... and all this white smoke was pouring out of the exhausts.

 

i thought the same thing because that was the first thing i messed with but to no avail .... "it wasn't the prob"
