    Default High RPM/ kicking into gear problem

    Hey guys, today i had a problem while driving.
    First symptom was
    -higher rpm when throttle wasn't touched. I would roll a lot faster than normal, speed would slowly increase.
    When at traffic lights car would be a lot harder to stop, more force on breaks.
    -Taking off, gear would kick into place.
    Placing car intro Park or neutral caused the rpms to surge to 3 grand.

    Engine light had popped on. What i found weird was that after light clicked on, car behaved normal. I was thinking its something to do with the whole air thing.

    I did clean and oil my air filter 3 days ago..

    Any help would be appreciated.
