Engine acceleration

I have a 1997 Ford Escort, 1.6 with 109,000 kilometers(I live in Portugal). It is an automatic. I have had a problem with the engine reving when I put the gear shift in Park and when I try to shift from drive to reverse. I have had the accelerator cable replaced and it worked better for a little while but alas, the problem returned. When the car is in "acceleration" mode I can turn the car off and then restart and the problem of accleration is resolved. I would appreciate any advise.

Merlin is right. Check the TPS as well as the AIC (idle air control) valve. Good luck. Keep us posted.
