this started last night. My car will drive itself down the road, i dont have to touch the gas, i take it out of gear the RPM’s wont settle down below 2k rpm’s unless i let it sit for like 20-30 seconds. It almost acts like the Throttle is stuck open, but thats not the case i dont think. Anyone have any ideas on this? ---

If the car has an IAC (idle air control) sensor which most GM cars have I’d check that. When mine went back on my Cavalier back in the day it did the exact same thing. ---

clean the throttle, check tps and iac sensors, vacuum leak or just fuck everything, take a grinder, and grind down that little screw where the cable goes, itll close the throttle further lettin in less air ---

Look at the TPS my truck did this to me a few months ago. I cleaned the throttle body, that worked for a week or so then it happened again so I replaced the TPS. No problem since. ---
