Default My Mustang revs up by itself!

Hi Everyone

I am a new member to Mustang Forums and this is my first post. I really need your help! My mustang revs up to 4000 rpms completely on its own. This happens while in park and while driving. Any idea whats wrong?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

dude thats awesome you have a full blown race motor!!
check your tps sensor...its located right on your throttle body and make sure the voltage is within factory specs...if that checks out, check and see if you have a vacume leak. There are smoke machines out ththere you can use to see where its leaking from. Whats done to your car?
