Well my car was running pretty ****ty today, so I tried spraying some carb cleaner in through the intake (I recently changed the plugs, wires,cap and rotor so I knew it wasn't that.) and the car tried to die out liek it should. So I gave it some gas while spraying the carb cleaner and then when i stopped it idle'd normal.

Then out of nowhere the car jumped to like 5500RPM, or something rediculously high, so I ran and shut the car off, unhooked the battery and let it sit for about an hour.

The car now consistantly idles at 3000rpm, and when i turn the ignition off to shut the engine off, it doesn't seems to shut off properly, but almost stalls itself out.

Did I screw a lot of sh!t up?
I guess you can't trust everything you read on these forums cause i've read it multiple posts that you can spray carb cleaner through the intake..

Started the car, sprayed the carb cleaner in and the car died, exactly as I expected.
Started it up, revved it up a bit and sprayed the cleaner in. stop spraying and stopped reving, the car idle'd normal for a few seconds, then it jumped up really high, almost redline.
Disconnected the battery, let it sit there while i ate supper, went back out and it wa at 3 k. let it sit for say another hour, and it reved to 3k again.

Drove the car around the bay, at 3k idle, and ii basically hit 40km/w without touching the gas pedal

Went back out after about 2 hours, didn't start it yet, jiggled the throttle cable to see if maybe it was stuck, which it wasn't. So I just tried starting it, and it started up, revve to 2k, and now its idling normally again..
