So today i was driving down the road, and my engine started revving. I tried to slow down, but she wouldn't . I stopped her on the side of the road and turned the truck off, and as soon as i started it up it revved like i was going balls to the wall. I looked at the carb and everything looks like it it supposed to, but i can let off of the brake and go 45 mph without ever touching the gas???? HELP PLEASE!!??!?!

I had something similar happen to my Q-jet, it turned out to be the choke step up linkage randomly upping the idle WAY up.
