Engine revving at stop?
i have a '96 mitsubishi galant. it started having this problem quite suddenly. when i stop at the lights, i can hear the engine revving at 1800 rpm. if i go to park before shutting off the engine, it revs higher to 3000 rpm. is this something dangerous i need to bring it in for repair asap? i don't know much about car but i appreciate some response on possible causes.

While the engine is revving high remove the throttle cable @ the throttle shaft. If the RPM does not return to an idle, remove the air intake hose [in front of the throttle plate] Check that the butterfly is all the way closed. If so then replace the TPS.
