Default Engine racing


Hi all,

I left my '97 Accord sitting in a driveway for 12 days, and when I got
back, I found that the engine had started racing. Frequently when I'm
driving, it's like cruise control is engaged for 2-3 seconds after I
stop pressing the gas, and when I take the car out of gear (to change
gears, for example), the engine races, usually to around 4K, sometimes
almost into the red zone.

Does anyone have any idea what could have happened while the car was
sitting still that could cause this?

Many thanks.
