Since the search always fails me . And after 15 min I gave up heres my post

This morning my truck acted like throttle stuck was at 2000 rpms taped it couple time went higher and staid there . NO check engine lights . Took throttle cable off same . Checked for vac leak as well as could .

it finally slowed some and I thought would run to my shop and park it . Put in gear went to pull on street and it was fine . Idle fine .

So took it home to get plow truck to get to work and it was at like 1500 RPM. Will be next week before I get to look at codes or even look at it .

Any Ideas were to start. I have several extra IAC and the like .

Any ideas would be great

TPS will do that I found. My 88 was doing that a while back, just sitting still, nobody in it, it would rev then fall, then rev. I was building snow fence by the headlights, so didn't want to shut it down. Changed the TPS, problem solved.

I switched the IAC, no change until I did the TPS.

I played with the tps before I actually changed it. I plugged in the new one, and without touching anything else, would move the TPS, and the engine rpms would follow the tps. Never set a light either....
