While sitting in traffic, I had my foot slightly on the brake to prevent creep. The engine suddenly revved so high that I had to stand on the brake to keep from crashing into the car in front of me. I put the transmission into park and the engine returned to normal idle. My foot was not on the gas pedal the entire time! *Jb
