Sometimes when shifting gears, the car suddenly kicks up to 6k to 7k rpms when driving have to pull over and turn the car off to get it to stop. Gas pedal doesnt stick during sudden acceleration. The gas pedal doesnt stick during sudden jump, I have to pull over and turn the car off to get it to stop, and then its okay for a little while, but continues to do it, ive cleaned the throttle body thinking that was it, but it still does it.
