Like I said, those ISC's are supposed to be adjusted so the engine (in neutral) goes to about 2500 fully extended. Or something around there. Also, if this ever happens again, slip the car into neutral while it's happening, and try to read the tach. Incidentally, putting the car into neutral is the right thing to do anyway, if the car is accelerating without your input. It's a lot easier than fighting the engine with the brakes, and doing that would have saved at least a few lives in those Lexus/Toyota incidents, regardless of the actual cause of the acceleration. Of course, if you need to get off the road, do that first...
Well, if something suits your purposes, that's all that matters. It's just my opinion.
