Engine starts @6000rpm and won't kick down

[Fastmedic12]

Need help from the crew. Went out this am to start the cb7 and the engine starts fine but then skyrocketed to 6000 rpm and won't drop even with the clutch depressed. Engaged into gears and then the brakes become heavy if non existent to operate. Need any help that can be given in the matter.

From the sounds of it and where you are from I would say something may have froze open/closed, or is just stuck. Outside temps?

Check your throttle cable from accelerator pedal to throttlebody.

I had the same problem on my last accord your throttle plate is stuck open

.... with the motor off, pop the hood, unlatch the cable from the piece that turns on the intake manifold and start your car, see what it idles at, if its fine, your cable is stuck somewhere along the line

So what did you find out? Cable or throttle stuck?
Thanks.

With the car started, put your foot under the gas pedal and pull up, does it drop the idle? Take the intake tube off and look at the throttle body, with the car off, what position is the throttle plate? It should be slightly open. If it feels hard to move, spray it with some WD40 or something to clean and lube it.

it could be the airboost valve

High rpm and hard brakes ..... I would check the big vacuum line on the brake booster
