While driving in the rain pulling a trailer I noticed my enjine would rev up. I thought maybe it was hydroplaneing a little and the enjine was compensating. But when at idle it would rev up a 1000 rpm or so by its self.

Has the check engine light come on? It sounds like a throttle position sensor, but I need to know about the light.

Let me know.
