if i let go of the gas pedal while my car is in motion it accels by itself without me even near the dam pedal? What the hell can it be?

something sounds messed up with your throttle. have you done anything to the car recently? cleaned the throttle body lately?

how bad is it? like can you feel it pull or?

I will check the cables again but can it be related to my O/D button which has been blinking for a few seconds then stops?

make sure nothing is blocking the cables, if ur od is messed up it may seem as tho ur car is jumping forward slightly after getting off the gas, is that whats happening?
