I had a similar problem with my 95 stang. My RPM's would raise as much as 1500 rev's, almost like there was a midget in the eng bay pulling the throttle cable. I also got a check eng light simultaneosly(spelling?) What I had was a dirty throttle position sensor/butterfly valve. If you remove the air intake tubing at the throttle body you will be able to access the inside of the T/B. I sprayed some carb cleaner on the butterfly valve, then moved the valve around to ensure free movement. Worked for me- Oh, one more thing - My car had a sticker on the T/B that said not to spray cleaner into the T/B. Warning you of a protective coating inside the T/B. I never had a prob though. Just some input. Worked for me.

Good luck
