Ok...

here is my first attempt at this.. i'll try my best to explain.

the other night (cold out!) i was letting my warm truck stay warm while i ran into the store. when i was getting out of my truck, i accidently popped the accellerator and the RPM's went up to about 3000 and down right away. The problem, is that it didnt just return to idle, it completely killed the truck. So as an experiment, i have been popping the accel and the RPMs either recover WAY low, or the truck just dies....

any ideas?
