Wow! Haven't though of that! When it happens, I only "blip" the throttle a little to keep it running, but I've never really "revved" it. I did figure it would be a possible vacuum problem, but the "gas build up" thing confuses me a little (and the first time it ever happened to be was in the summer, if my memory serves me right). Thanks for the suggestion and I'll explore this!
