Default help me troubleshoot

every time i try to start the car up in the morning,the revs go to about 3k and pretty much stays like that unless i turn the engine off or disconnect the battery,also seems to be that once the engine goes up to temperature the problem disappears,it all started when i wanted to use the car after a 2 week shutdown,it was working fine before that....i checked for loose connectors and vaccum hoses,but there's nothing loose ,also im on a speed density tune thanks

Are you disconnecting the battery while its running?

You didn't find ANY vacuum leaks? Do you have access to a scanner? Do you have any codes?
