    Ghost Rider

    Hey i have fallen victim to my car reving itself between one and two grand without any throttle. I have talked to a few people, the first guy said it was the throttle position sensor cause when we unplugged it, it acted as if it had been floored. Second guy said I could have a bubble in my coolant that would cause it. Until I get her off the ground tomorrow i wont know for sure but I was wondering if anyone could give any words of wisdom. Thanks

    i had a very similar issue on a 93' lumina Z34. I parked it and it was fine and then went to leave and it idled at about 2k. I brought into the shop only to find that it had blow a vacuum line. I can not remember which one but and the shop tightened it back up the car drove fine.
