My P reg Escort keeps revving when I change gear. It doesn't happen as soon as I start that car, it starts after 5 or 10 minutes driving, or if I accelerate quickly.
As soon as I put the clutch down to change gear the engine starts revving up. I even tried putting the car into neutral and coasting to see what happens and the car starts revving and doesn't stop until the car stops moving, as soon as the car stops moving the high revs stop immediatley.
Even more worryingly is that fact that my car accelerates on its own some times, not at a great speed but if I accelerate quickly through the gears up to 30mph and then let go of the accelerator on a flat road, the car will maintain 30mph or even begin to pick up more speed. I'm guessing this is because of the revving problem.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
