I have a 2006 chevy silverado, went to crank it up this morning and the engine reved up by itself and displayed engine reduced speed went to hit the peddle to try and idle it down with a quick push and nothing happened, any ideas as to what this problem is?

That's a drive by wire system that has a malfunction. The first step will be to have the trouble codes read and they will give the tech a starting point but this diagnosis is likely going to be beyond your abilities.

You have an electronic throttle plate and an electronic gas pedal inside the car with a computer controlling the whole thing. It needs to be diagnosed properly.

You need codes before you have any idea of anything.
