Why does my mustang 1997 randomly revve. It will do it when driving or idling.

My educated opinion would be your speed sensor on your transmission. I had the same issue last year after a rough transmission install (not of my doing ). You could also lose power because the engine computer doesn't know what to do without proper speed input and doesn't want to hurt the motor, so it will cut power. That would be my first try.

Stick shift or auto? Check your idle air control valve.
