it is off and 5k when idle? When I get in the car, the rpm reads as 4k despite it being completely off. I start the engine and it jumps to 5k, and as I shift, it continues to increase. If I hit about 75, it is usually close to the maximum. What could the problem be?
 
If the engine sounds like its rev'd up really high at 75 then you have a serious throttle body issue. But if it still sounds normal then it could be a bad sensor or instrument display.
