Car is accelerating on its own

Hi,

There is a throttle valve cable on this vehicle. It sounds like that may be causing it to stick. The cable will run to the throttle body.

Here is what I need you to do: Remove the top of the air filter box. See pic 1 below. Next, loosen the clamp where the air hose attaches to the throttle body.

Inspect the cable that goes to the throttle body. What I would suggest is to disconnect the cable to see if the idle speed goes down. If it does, that cable will likely need to be replaced.

I highlighted the parts below and have an arrow pointing to where the cable attaches.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
