HI!

I noticed a few days ago as I was driving that any time I pressed the accelerator the car would either a) sluggishly go or B) speed up really fast. And at one point when I parked my vehicle, the engine was accelerating without me pressing the accelerator. I just changed my fuel filter along with the fuel system being flushed. So I don't have the least bit idea of what could be wrong. I appreciate some information as to how to go about getting this problem repaired.

You probably have a weak spot in the throttle position sensor-check its closed and wide open throttle voltages refer to repair manual.
