800 RPMS...
busted Throttle position sensor... or something could be proping open the throttle body plate slightly.

Same here but it's going to 5000...think its my own fault

I replaced the water pump over the weekend.
I removed the airfilter cover/maf etc to get some room and stuffed a paper shop towel in the throttle body to keep any gunk out.
Well, I went to drive it to work today (didnt do a shakedown drive when I put it back together on Sunday...dumb!)
And it started to rev to 5000 with clutch in. It would hand there for about 20-30 seconds then drop to normal...then do it all over again.
I drove it back home and took the truck to work. Driving in I was thinking about what might be the issue.
I did find that the wires at the TPS connector were exposed so I wrapped them with electrical tape but I'm pretty sure that it OK.
I think I may have forgotten to remove that damn paper towel from the throttlebody and its holding it open.
I'll find out when I pull the hose after work...what a bonehead move if thats the problem....

It could also be the IAC. My car was doing this recently when warm, but I cleaned the IAC with Berryman's and all is back to normal.
