i only expereience this when my engine is cold and at start up. the rpm rises and stays around 2k but thats expected. sometimes when i start it up and dont let it warm up and put it in gear and slowly let go of the clutch, the RPM rises and accelerates the car on its own for about 5 secs or so.

normal right?!?!

Yup. On a cold start the car can pretty easily go on it's own since the revs are high.

Yes, normal. The "planer" oxygen sensor hasn't heated up and the ecu is keeping the rev's up like that until it gets a proper voltage signal from the oxygen sensors.

You probably also notice that this does not last too long. BTW, I wouldn't "reset" the car. This behavior is normal.
