2005 Ford Ranger overrevving

Car: Ford Ranger
Year: 2005
Variant: XLT
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My 2005 ranger starts to overrev to 2000 revs after about 5 minutes driving. It stays that way for about 5 mins then dies down to correct idle again.

while it is overrevving it has a typical pinking sound that is not there during normal driving.
