Take a look at the throttle and see if the cable is stuck or caught on something.

okay so i checked it out and its loose at my gas pedal, like i can tug on it and get slack. does this mean its broken and if so would that cause it to start up and go to high rpms right away?

GhostAccord

Loose at the gas pedal is usually an indication that it will be tight at the throttle body. Open your hood and check to see if the throttle body is stuck wide open. $10 says it is!

You probably need to clean and lubricate the throttle body &/or the throttle cable.

yeah thats what i was thinking too but no it was actually loose at the tb i actually had to adjust it quite a bit!

GhostAccord

Is the throttle plate inside the throttle body stuck open? If there was that much slack on both ends of the cable and your hitting the rev limiter on start up the throttle plate must be stuck open.

Now if you adjusted the cable tighter it probably wont close now.

Can you post up some pictures of the throttle body cable and real?

F20B_accord

yes sir ill go get the pictures right now! should i take my cai off and look inside the tb maybe?

GhostAccord

Yes, that way you will be able to see if the throttle plate is stuck open....... $10 CDN says it is

F20B_accord

darn it i think it is it gets stuck! so i took it off and im going to clean it hopefully its that!

GhostAccord

Make sure that you adjust the throttle cable again after you get the throttle body cleaned up and installed. It's could be a wee bit on the tight side as it sits now.

F20B_accord

okay i will but im unsure how much slack there should be?

GhostAccord

The amount of deflection (slack) between the throttle body real and the throttle cable bracket should be 10mm - 12mm (just under 1/2")
