Content-Type: text/plain

Hello vana-experts,

This is probably a simple repair--but oil changes and routine maintenance
are about the extent of my auto knowledge. Problem is when I start the
engine, it revs up to about 3500  to 4000 and wants to stay there. I'm
driving with my foot on the brake, and turning off when I hit a stop
light. This happened suddenly- it was fine yesterday, this morning it
started. Do I just need to adjust the idle, or is there more to this?

Help! Sonia J
