94 throttle stuck (again)

What have i done this time???? My truck revs WAY up there whenever you start it. Someone said i may have yanked or destroyed a hose that runs from something on the firewall, but all the hoses there look fine and intact to me. It is a 94 ranger automatic 3.0 V6. The video with the truck sorta running diddnt want to embed, so here is a link to my Youtube channel. Any and all help is appriciated

One thing to check would be the throttle valve (or butterfly). It may be stuck wide open from your burnout. At least it's worth a check. This butterfly valve is in the upper part of the intake manifold on the engine, right close to where the black plastic air duct is attached to the intake. Loosen the hose clamp that holds the air duct to the end of the manifold and you can move it around enough to pull the duct off the intake. This butterfly valve will be about an inch or so down inside from the end of the manifold and you might need a flashlight to see in there. Look into the intake to see if it looks like a circular piece of flat metal is closing off the metal inlet duct. This piece of metal will have a round or partly round metal rod going across it in the middle. This is the throttle butterfly valve. If the butterfly is closed then the engine should idle like normal. If the butterfly is stuck wide open, then when you start the engine the rpm will start to climb without you doing anything. Right close to where you see the butterfly is where the gas pedal cable attaches to it, but on the outside of the inlet duct. You can have someone push on the gas pedal and see if the butterfly moves or if it sticks when you push down on the pedal. If it's sticking open then you should be able to figure out how to keep it from sticking and get it work normally. Check it out and let us know what you find.
