check your floor mat i know it sounds stupid but once when i cleaned mine i was to lazy to put it back on the little hooks.

On the way home i was in the process of shifting and all of the sudden
the rpms just rise and bounce off the rev limiter
( i had the clutch pedal on the floor because i was shifting)
i was so scared my motor was gonna be toast and something seriously wrong i shut it off and pulled over popped open the hood jumped out and checked the motor, belt, oil etc. and when i opened my door again i look down and what do you know my floor matt had slid all the way up kinda of pressing on the gas by it self it probably wouldnt have had enough force to push the gas but i guess my foot was pushing it foward.

Well i fixed the floor matt the right way and turned the car on and let out a sigh of relief lol i thought my car was gone but it was ok.

Long story short check the floor matt

sorry for such a long post lol
