Default when it starts it revs high

ive got a 2000 monte carlo ss 3800 n/a 131xxx miles i just recently experienced problems with it starting. i got it started the other day and it was reving high like idleing at 2500-3000 rpm. and when it doesnt start it sounds like its cranking faster than normal. what could make it do this other than the throttle position sensor?

Default

it could be a couple of things but I don't want to say what it could be and it wasn't.

but I would have to ask when was the last time you did a tune up and checked all the wires?

the other thing I would check to see if you have some thing loose or check all the air hoses as well.

it would be the first thing I would check. after that go down the list iac maf and coil packs and clean up the conection to the battery as well.

I do have a question when was the lim changed or is it the original one?
