   Two data points:   
      
   (1) On the freeway, at roughly 55 mph, I gunned the engine.  Passenger   
   reported it went up to 3K before I backed off, at which point it dropped   
   normally.  Just a test...   
      
   (2) Leaving a parking lot, with my foot on the brake, the involuntary   
   acceleration started.  I immediately shifted to neutral and watched the   
   rpm rise to 2700 before I tapped the accelerator, bringing it back to   
   normal.   
      
   Curiouser and curiouser...
