I have the following problem with my 91 olds cutlass supreme 3.4. When I start the car in the morning the rpm will rise to the maximum. The motor runs so fast, I feel it will brake down. I switch it off, then I turn the ignition on and I can hear the cooler fan working, the temperature outside is around 0. Put it another way, if I turn the ignition key on without starting the car and I hear to the coolant motor running I know that I will go through this crazy business again, i.e to let the car run for a minute and then switch on and off the key until I can not hear the coolant motor running. Once I will not hear the coolant fan motor running I feel confident the car will start without increasing the rpm to the maximum. If I try to drive the car with so much high rpm it has very little power, and it will stall on the ramp. Any suggestions on how to solve the problem will be appreciated. Could it me the coolant temperature sensor? Could it be the IAC? Could it be the computer? What else could it be? Thanks
