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..

It was just the butteryfly that was stuck. The carb cleaner must of remove all grease and such from the butterfly joints which caused it to be stuck open. After you drove it around a bit it must of regrease it through the oil vapor from your valve cover. Just remeber the only way for a engine to rev so high is a open throttle. Every sensor around your engine can break and it will never rev that high. No air, no spark, no rev.
