Description of the problem	While driving the car will randomly rev very high it started about 3 weeka ago while driving at around an average of 45mph in city. It was initially just revving 3-4 times until i hit the break and it was isolated to one incident per drive. But last night after driving on i-25 at highway speed i turned to a slower busy street more stop and go traffic and the car started revving again only this time it did not stop after one incident. As soon as i hit the accelerator it went into a revving fit. And didnt stop i couldn't even drive it because i could not get it to accelerate. I tried turning off blue drive and tried shifting down to 1st gear so i could at least make it at 10-15mph but it revved up even in manual gear. I had to park it for the night in a pretty sketchy neighborhood and call an uber. The system didn't populate any codes and no service lights came on. Then, this morning when i went back to get the car to a mechanic and it was accelerating fine though it was sluggish. I managed to make it 2. 5 miles to a mechanic without incident but still no service engine light.
