At times, my engine revs very high. I can actually continue to accelerate without depressing the gas pedal. When coming to a stop, the engine will rev up to nearly 4000 rpm with the clutch pedal pressed, and my other foot braking. Once I stop the car, the rpms then decrease but still stay on the high side (1500 rpms). Also, when going throughout the shift sequence (1st to 2nd to 3rd etc. . . Each time I press the clutch, the rpms shoot up). I am an engineer, business owner, and somewhat intelligent man. There are no obstructions to the accelerator cable that I can see, and no, my foot is not on the gas pedal. This is a real problem. It makes driving. . . Interesting to say the least, and in the hands of someone less capable, this would cause a severe risk.
