Why does my car engine rev all the time?
With a little luck the linkage will be your problem. If not take the governor arm loose from the shaft and see how much the shaft turns, it should only move about 15 to 20 degrees. If it moves more than that you have broken the governor inside the engine and will require a tear down.

Why does my Briggs and Stratton lawn mower rev up and down?
If you find that your Briggs & Stratton mower engine revs up and down (surges), it may be likely that your lawnmower air filter is dirty. As noted previously, mower engines require air (oxygen) mixed with fuel, then spark, to ignite the mixture and run the lawnmower engine.
What causes a car engine to slow down?
If the air that the engine requires to run is blocked, especially sporadically, it can cause the engine to slow down. When the blockage moves or clears, the engine may suddenly rev up in response. To fix this type of problem, check the air filter to ensure that it’s not clogged with dirt and debris. Check the vented gas cap as well.
Why is my Toro Lawn mower engine over revving?
Sounds like the governor linkage may be stuck, broken linkage/spring. Look for dirt/debri around the governor linkage and wash/brush/blow any debri from linkage and ensure linkage mechanism is intact and hooked up and throttle cable is still hooked up and not broken/seized on. Links below may be of some assistance. Good luck.
