The rpm's was racing(idle too high) and the car would take off on me especially when I tried to stop when the car is warm.We checked the codes and it said bad 02 sensor number 2 so we replaced it.The rpm's is still racing when it warms up and you have to quickly hit the gas pedal to bring the rpm's back down.When I am driving it I can feel the gas pedal like sticking.I have no idea whats wrong with it,can you help.

If you feel the throttle is sticking, check the cable for damage. Also, check the throttle plate to make sure it is not sticking.

Also, has the check engine light come back on?
