My car is over revving on its own without accelerator being pressed and picking up speed on its own when I switched it off it had trouble starting back up then after about 30minutes it started no problem. The car drives fine for about 5minutes before it starts revving and picking up speed. Any idea of the problem please?

    Throttle position sensor most likely or Idle Air Control valve sticking - take it out and give it a squirt and a clean with WD40.

    Remove the TPS connector wire and see if it fixes the problem - if it does as I suspect it will then its the TPS.

    I removed mine a few weeks ago - wasnt that difficult although my car is a Streetka.

    Removal was then simple.
