Got a power wire for an amp running close to it? I had mine get stuck on the throttle body a while back and it did the same thing.

Also on top of this, I would check the clamp for the intake vacuum tube located right near the cables. If it is installed incorrectly, it does get stuck and you will have acceleration.

Yes, I know you have a throttle. I do too, it restricts the amount of air that goes into the engine when I don't wanna go fast.

Please read the guidelines for making a thread title.

There's also another sticky specifically addressing the issue.

Both outline what NOT to do in the first post, but it's really common sense.

Sounds like an issue with your cruise control. When you turned the car off the CC reset itself.
