i thougt it was somthing to do with the ecu. Mine did that for a while would rev to like 4 grand right off the bat and then I'd blip the throttle and it'd settle down at aroun 900rpms. Then it just stopped doing it all together. That was on the stock ecu though.

Check your cruise cable (if you have cruise). I've leaned on my cruise unit, checking the plug wires, and caused the cable to pull and jamb. Started the car and did exactly what yours does.

I haven't experience revving all the way to redline, but when my TPS was off it went to 4k and would stay there;

You might wanna check where the throttle cable connects to the thing that opens the butterflys inside the throttlebody. Mine was getting stuck open and it reved all the way to redline. Make sure your two things are going all the way down.
