This is the second time since purchasing the vehicle April 2008 that I've started the vehicle and the engine revved at a high idle speed like I was flooring the accelerator except my foot was on the brake. I'm concerned that this may happen when I'm coasting without my foot on any pedals and the car may accelerate on it's own. The first time this occurred, I had my foot on the brake and put the car in neutral and the high revving stopped. I took it to a Honda dealer and they said sometimes the accelerator valve sticks and they sprayed lubricant on it.
