I have a 91 civic hatch that has a d16a6 in it. It just started acting up a couple days ago. It is revving way past idle like it doesn't want to come back down. At first I could just rev it up and then it would go back down. Now it just wants to keep going even though my foot is off the pedal. I'm afraid it's going to blow if i don't stop it. Any help on what is causing this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who can help.

 

come on people. I know i'm a noob but at least try and help me correct my ignorance.

 

sounds like a throttle cable sticking.
what have you done under the hood recently?

 

thanks, i'll check the throttle cable. I haven't done anything to it recently. I just bought it 3 weeks ago. Thank you for chiming in.
