Check for trouble codes. If the TPS was not installed correctly, it can cause that. Check for vacuum leaks as well.

HI Rasmataz and KHLow... Thank you for your response.. I put a volt meter on the T.P.S and it was about 5 volts open and down to 0.2 closed.. Checking the 3 wires going into it.. When I checked the center wire to the outsides it worked in the reverse... I had also changed the idle air control valve .. I pulled the T.B. and also the Intake Manifold.. I couldnt find any vacuum leaks or bad vac hoses... Is it possible that the head gasket went bad or the head cracked? Also initially it would idle fine when cold but as it warmed up it would go up about 2000 R.P.Ms.. and stay there.. Eventually it got worse and now it is at this point where as you start it... It goes right up to red line... Thank you again and I would like to donate either way... But the box to push donate is not on this page.. Can you tell me how to access it... Thanks , Mark

Click the "Upgrade Question " link and you can ptoceed to donate.

If you have a bad gasket or head, there would be coolant losses and overheating issues.

If engine is redlining when started, there must be sufficient air going in for it to occur. Is the throttle plate fully closed at this time?

As suggested by KHLow on the TP make sure its fully closed-if not check the throttle stop screw adjust if necessary and also try adjusting for minimum air
