My daughter was driving her 1999 GMC Yukon when it started to idle very high and accelerate on its own. A diagnostic test revealed the following code: PO320 Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Circuit Malfuntion.
Could this be causing the engine to race suddently without warning? Most of the symptoms I read about this problem seem to be related more to the engine idling very slowing and stalling.

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve and throttle bore and test the throttle position sensor and mass airflow sensor
