Last night I was driving my car and something randomly happened. My car started revving itself on it's own.

The car is revving itself between 3k-4k rpm and won't stop. I think it has to be something with the fuel line but I'm not sure. It's a constant rev at the same duration and doesn't fluctuate. It does it in every gear and basically all I do is shift and the car drives itself which is why I think something has to be wrong with the gas pedal/line?

I checked the pedal but i can't really tell any difference in how it feels. I kicked on it and pulled on it and neither helped.

I also searched a little and cleaned my throttle body valve hoping it would be the problem although this didn't work either.

I just had a stage 2 Exedy clutch put in and I can't continue to drive it like this. I'm still in the break in period on the clutch also which worries me even worse. I had to drive about 25 miles like this last night and i could already smell my clutch burning =(

I would greatly appreciate any help/ideas that you guys have.
