Hyundai Sonata 2002 idle at high RPM and accelerate 40-45 MPH

I have a Hyundai Sonata 2002 that I have replaced the idle air control still not fixed. It will accelerate to 40-45 mph on its own and idle to 2500-3000 rpm. I have to constantly hold the break while driving. Very dangerous! Can anyone suggest?

Look for a vacuum leak somewhere. This is the most common problem for a high idle.

I have a 2005 Hyundai sonata v6 bought used. mechanics cant figure it out and ive done all I can with no luck. car only goes 5-10 mph and wont go past 2k rpm

Is the accelerator blocked some kind of way? Maybe something is under the foot pedal. Also fuel flow like filter blockage or a bad pump.

Possibly but to find the fault have the fault codes read . It may be the accelerator position sensor . Don't waste money until you have the codes to point you in the right direction

The car accelerates without being given any gas,engine is idling high Also, it periodically turns over and won't start.I had the transmission intake replaced 5 months ago.

sounds like a vacum leaks,listen for it youll hear a hiss,,,or a bad iac valve,idle air control,that will cause a hard start and high idle and running by itself,

My Hyundai stalls when cold and sputters when i drive at low rpm. its fine at a high rpm.

Could be the idle air control valve, fuel filter, injectors, plugs.
