Is there any more information here that we are missing?

We presume that this car was running fine until, all of a sudden, one day, it started to rev on startup and you noticed the holes in the intake hose.

Did the car sit for an extended period and possibly mice made those holes and have nested near the throttle butterfly?

Did you just purchase this car and you are attempting to start it for the first time?

Did someone try and work on this car and left the throttle cable off of its guide pulley?

I am asking these questions because your specific set of symptoms is not consistent with a normally functioning car--something else had to have happened here that your initial question did not reveal.
