help with my daughters punto, R reg 75. I haven't reproduced the fault myself but am assured it happens frequently.

The car suddenly starts to rev up reaching 2500-3000revs for a few minutes then resumes normal running. It can happen when moving or when stationary. Even whilst at tickover. otherwise the car runs perfectly. It doesn't matter whether it is warm or cold.

Any tips gratefully recieved.
 
Theres been a few threads about this, seems to be a common problem. Could be a number of things like the position sensor or throttle body. Probably worth getting a garage to have a quick look if you don't want to have a poke about yourself (y)
 
Has it started calling you "Michael" yet? in a gay english accent?
It could be suffering from "KnightRider" Syndrome.,.,.,lol
Only kidding.,.,

it could be the crank sensor but theres a few other things it could be so id bring it to a garage, they shouldnt charge you for diagnosing the prob if you say you want them to fix it in a week or two, if ya know what i mean,.,.,lol
