Narrative:
Coming in for an ILS into yow the first officer insisted I was supposed to be at 3000 at the fix [as] I started to descend to be on glide slope. When the first officer figured out he was wrong we were too high for a stable approach; so we went around at about 2000 ft. The missed approach altitude is 3000. At 3000 ft I called for autopilot. So on heading mode and autopilot at 3000 the plane started to dramatically climb without any control input from us. I clicked off the autopilot and tower told us to go back down to 3000 ft. Not sure what happened or what would cause it to climb that hard.
