Searched for this issue but this is a peculiar one...
Basically turned on the engine today was fine. drove down the road, and was getting on the freeway and took it into neutral and I thought I left my foot on the gas and it started reving up to 4-5k... I turned the car off naturally.
So I've had iacv, maf, and air filter issues so I figured something went wrong with the throttle body cable being stuck open or the butterfly valve in the throttle body.
I took it to Ali at Machine Tune in placentia because I was very close by, and he said he hadn't seen sr's behave that way ever before. He was busy also so he couldn't take it apart just yet.
Background about what is wrong with the car. Maf wiring is a little shady, it is just electrical taped and uses connectors, so it could have to do with that. The air filter is pretty old and just last thursday I took it off to clean and spray air filter oil on it. The iacv has been cleaned with carb cleaner through the hole that the adjustment screw is. Before today I had had previous idle issues with it bogging out and dying so I've cleaned the maf sensor the air filter and iacv.
We checked the throttle cable and its not open, and there's no tension. The only thing I can think of is there being a whole somewhere where air is getting in to allow it to rev so high. Or that the screw for the butterfly valve busted off.
The only other thing is maybe the actual accelerator pedal itself, but idk anything about that. Maybe The same problem as the brake pedal bushing wearing out, causing the brakelights to stay on.
I don't know this happened literally 30 minutes ago. And it's raining right now so I just have it parked waiting for it to clear up before I go out there so making this post to just get some ideas.
