THE ENGINE STARTED TO RACE WITHOUT WARNING AND I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET BEFORE I FINALLY GOT THE IGNITION KEY TURNED OFF. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, IN PARK, AND THE ENGINE TOOK OFF AGAIN. I SHUT IT OFF, PLAYED AROUND WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS (WHICH WERE IN THE OFF POSITION) AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS TIME IT WAS FINE. THE CAR NEVER DID IT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS A 1987 CHEVY CAMARO LS.
