HI!
Do you mean that the car revs without giving it any throttle at start?
In that case I would suspect Throttle wire thats stuck(check the throttle position in the engine bay before start)
What car do you have? 3,8 or 3,6?
Could be something in the electronic bits also but can`t really help you there. Somebody else?
But it definitely sounds like that the throttle is open or gets opened at start, otherwise it wouldn`t rev that hard, or would it?

Re: over revving

Have your shop check the Trottle position switch. If it's starting to go it can lead to all kinds of funky problems.
