Weird Start Up

When I started my van this morning it had a very high idle, like someone flooring the gas pedal.
I turned the key off and it was still running, but it was slow and stuttering. I waited a few minutes to see if it would turn itself off, nope!
I had to remove the batterry cable.
I waited a couple of minutes and put the cable back on and it started normally. This is the second time this has happened. Any ideas?

Wow now thats weird..How is power on the coil and injector circuts staying on? You would think it has to be something like an aftermarket remote something??? Is there anything aftermarket hooked up to this vehicle?

Maybe the ignition switch is shorting out? There were some model years that had a recall for this problem.

leaking partially stuck open fuel injectors will cause this
afterrun is called dieseling, from extra gas. carb engines were worse for this with stuck floats and leaks

Thanks for the replies!

It turned out being the new $23 starter solenoid. I replaced it with an $11 one from AZ. , been starting up fine ever since.
