Hi everyone,
recently my engine has turned very accelerated,
When I put D and start to accelerate it keeps accelerating untils 2k rpm and changes gears until 4th without pushing the accelerator,
when I stop then the engine idles at 1500 rpm and is hard to keep it without movement,
The only way I've found to take it to the normal 700 rpm stopped is put N then the engine goes to 3000 rpm for about 5 seconds and then starts to reduce speed something like: 3000 -> 500 -> 1000 -> 600 -> 750 -> 700 all this in 5 seconds.

What do you think?

You might want to read up on the "throttle hang" fix from the FAQ section on home page, although I thought it was only a problem with mtx, and not atx, equipped cars.

A sticking IAC valve, and cleaning thereof, is mentioned here:
