I could be wildly off course here but iv heard that TD engines revving by them selves is due to a problem with the turbo. Something about the turbo sending engine oil from what i presume is the cooling/lubricating pipes (presuming the the turbo is oil cooled) through so in effect the engine is running on the engine oil and in worst case the engine destroys itsself.

someone correct me if that is all BS.
