I have a 2017 Soul+ 2.0l with 19,999 miles original owner
on cold start or at least what the temp gauge shows as a cold start (Soul temp gauges don't move till the coolant is past a minimum of 125'F) the engine does is slight high idle for a cold start of 2k then takes off up to redline where I turn the key off.
Information about leading up to this event which is now the second time this has happened. I started the car in the morning for the first time since it was parked the night before about 16hours to cool down the cold start temp for the first start up was 37'F it reved to 2k held for a few seconds and dropped to 1,200 (my cars normal cold start) it was then driven around for about an hour and then parked back at my house for approximately 3-4 hours where I then returned to go to the store. I put the key in and turn to power,the gauge shows the coolant is cold I start the car and it goes to 2k sits for a second then hits redline where I then shut off the engine.
what would possibly cause this? the first time it did this it stopped at 4,500 before it hit redline and i gave it some gas to see if the TPS was being weird and it had no response to my input then hit redline and I shut the engine off.
