95 cutlass: engine revs high on its own after 15 minutes

I have a 95' Cutlass Ciera SL, and the following problem happens after driving it for about 15-20 minutes. For the first 15-20 minutes, it runs perfectly fine, but after that, I'll be driving along and when I go to stop, the engine keeps reving high, and as I put the brake on, it seems as if the engine and brakes are fighting each other and the car bucks like a bronco until it either stalls or I put it into nuetral or park.......at which time the engine is rev'ing really high.

If it does stall, then when I restart it, its running high again and stalls the second I put it into gear. At this time, I have 2 options:
1) Wait 10-15 minutes and then its fine for another 15 minutes.
2) Give it alot of gas as I'm putting it into gear and then it only runs until the next time I have to stop.

The check engine light is NOT on ( I wish it was so I could get the code and figure the problem out), and the catalitic converter is new.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
Shawn
