When I start my jeep it revs all the way up to 2xxx RPMs, and when I drive it acts like it wants to keep goin and it's hard to brake and stop. Please help fast, used to only happen sometimes now it won't stop

Just Seafoamed my engine (4.0L) with the spray that goes into the TB... Followed the instructions to a tee and no smoke. Drove like a bat-out-of-hell and still nothing. Is my 25 year old engine just clean as I'd like to think or just that stubborn? Anybody else had that happen after Seafoaming?
Edit: I also put liquid Seafoam in the gas tank, if that makes a difference...
