    My 348 did that after doing some work to it. I thought I had pinched the throttle cable some how, but everything checked out. Started mine about 3 times with it doing that, before thinking about hitting the gas real quick, just to see what happened... I blipped the throttle once, and it settled right down. No more problems, and startup was back to normal. Hope that helps!

    Check your foot. It's hard for me to take it off the gas pedal. 8mpg at the pump proves my point.
    Seriously though, on some of my past sports cars, there was an idle screw that you could mess with to lower the idle RPM. I've also run into surging idle when there is a loose vacuum hose. I'm not sure if these cars feature either of these issues, but it's something to toss out there.

    Glad to know it was something simple. :) I just wish I knew why they revved like that....
