What causes a car to speed up WITHOUT pushing the gas.(Im talking about very noticable gain in speed)

And it idles high when you crank it you have to tap the gas to get it to idle right and then it will go back to idling high. The idle is not up down up down its almost like someones in the car pushing the gas and holding it not all the way to the floor but a very noticable increase RPM.

Thanks

If the throttle cable is not sticking, bad cruise control module would be my next guess. You should be able to get one from a junkyard.

Check engine light on? If so take it to autozone and they'll throw the reader on it for free. Polo..

no when I said ex-mom that is exactly what i meant, my biological mother, sucked every ounce of life out of my dad, even when he was dying of cancer she was on his a&& calling him a liar, saying he wasn't really dying just didn't want to pay her the almighty $326.00 a month.
