Clean inside throttle body with intake cleaner and a rag may be sticking because of gum and varnish buildup in take manifold. This should work, if it doesn't then you will need to check cables and make sure they are not locking up and moving freely. If that good then Throttle body will need to be replaced because this can be very dangerous with it sticking like you described. Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

You need to check for a vacuum leak and throttle housing. Also if possible scan for codes you may also have a coil issue

Sometimes when starting the rpm revs up to 2000 and then continues to climb rather than come down. Going along the road it seems to run itself...when I take my foot off the gas it maintains speed for quite...

The throttle body can be sticking. Also you could have a broken throttle position sensor. Vacuum leak, near the rear of the intake can cause increased RPM's. Check around under the hood for loose connections, I always start there.

It has started to accelerate.up to 35 mph without any pressure on accelerator and revs up to 3 rpm's when idling. could this be a stuck gas pedal? will some WD40 do the trick

the idle control motor could be opening up causing the rpm to increase(acting like a vacume leak),by either sticking or the(ecm)computer, is commanding an increase in rpm.a bad throttle position sensor ribbon could be the problem(must be replaced no repair).if it was a sticking gas pedal then at idle when you move the gas pedal the rpm`s should increase alot.its possible that a vacume leak could cause this like a hose,although this should show up at idle with a high idle.

Gas pedal sticks

does it stick in the cab or on the throttle body? make sure the cable is wrapped around the throttle linkage properly first and then id spray some wd40 on all the moving parts down by the pedal. sometimes gunk can get built up in that area and it just might need a good cleaning. odds are pretty good that the moving parts are really dirty or the cable isnt lined up properly on the throttle linkage. id start there.

Gas pedal sticking. requires more than normal pressure until car starts moving

I had same problem on my 2004 lesabre, I waited until it was stuck and opened the hood and pulled on the throttle by hand very easily and could feel it sticking there, so I sprayed carb cleaner on the springs and around and through them. This loosened it up right away and have not had any trouble since, I did not spray anything into the throttle body, Good luck

Return to idle

Sounds like your throttle is sticking, try looking under the hood for a cable that come out of the firewall. WD40
