Default Runaway RPM's / Cruise Control??

The Cruise Control didn't Cancel for me, earlier tonight ... at least that what I think ... Unless a NEW Air Filter replacing a seriously Clogged Air Filter fooled the O-2 Sensor for a bit.
The Monte was "Getting Away" on me. I had my foot on the brakes and she was sstill pulling. I finally just turned-off the key and brought her to a halt at the side of the road. When I sgtarted it back up, in neutral, it was acting like it was hitting the limiter and pulsating between 3K and 45-Hundred Rev's. Made me real nervous. I had to limp along the road turning on the ignition and killing the power for awhile until the SECURITY Light came on and then ... a re-start had her acting prety normal, again.

It was scary. The brakes wouldn't bring the car to a halt. That ain't the way to have fun; son ... that ain't the way to have fun!

So, what happened. The set-up is I changed-out an air filter and moved the air flow meter to get the box out. It looked like it went in like it came out and I double-checked the Hose Clamp going from the rubber gooseneck to the Intake on the Manifold. I'm sure everything was cool. I WAS playing with the Cruise Control to get a feel of how that was going to act. Maybe I found out!!!

Any thoughts from the Monte Carlo Brain Trust on that little adventure???

Holy snap Rick! So much for that pair of underwear, eh? lol

Perhaps the MAF was shocked by the amount of air coming in all of a sudden and added more fuel.
