Suggest you open you hood and examine the cables attached to the throttle body butterfly. Open and close this with your hand to make sure the rod turns properly in a clockwise rotation to the stop on the TB. Examine the electrical connections on the TPS and MAF. Make sure all vac lines are attached to the TB. This should be an easy problem to solve.

The engine cannot rev like that without the butterflys being open.or a massive vac. leak.
