#127329 is your throttle cable too tight? If there is no slack, the throttle body will not close completely and engine will rev more than it should at the lightest touch of the gas pedal.

#127344 i dont think its that ive tried messin around with the throttle cable and it does the same thing

if u say it my throttle cable, could be my throttle bracket thats connect to the intake manifold and that holds the throttle cable

my car has a ugly custum made one that uses only one bolt insted of 2

#127360 if you have a little bit of dead space when you start to press the gas pedal, then that is normal.
If you the rpm's go up as soon as the pedal starts to be pressed, then the cable may be too tight.
