    Honda Civic 2001 is revving own it's own
    Hi there,

    I have a 2001 honda civic standard transmission. Today the engine started revving without me touching the gas. Does anyone know what this might be?

    Thanks,

    . Clean Idle Air Control Valve (IACV):

    While you are at it, clean the throttle plate, ports, and throttle body.

    . Set curb idle to specs:

    . Check/replace the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, if the problem persists.
