Answer
Mark,
     Try checking the throttle position sensor, it might be going bad, but not throw a code. I've run into a few that were shot and didn't throw codes. If you are having to keep the throttle pushed down to rev the engine could be the throttle position sensor. They are relatively inexpensive and are fairly easy to replace. Let me know if it helps, and I'll do a little more digging on it.
