Engine Performance problem
2001 Pontiac Sunfire 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Recently when the car was started it was put into drive and just started driving by itself. It would go up to 10 mph w/o and throttle whatsoever. Now when started, the car revs automatically like someone keeps pushing the gas only nobody is. When we went to stop in a turn lane to turn, the car would not stop it was like the car was powerbraking itself. Could the gas be stuck?
