1998 Renault Clio Automatic

recently wen I go out in my car it sometimes starts to speed up and seems to change gear on its own even when I am not touchin accelerator, it also makes the brakes very stiff and takes a while for the car to come to a slow even speed for me to apply the handbrake because it doesnt stop completely, this happens for about 10-15mins then the car runs fine again but this seems to be happenin more often.I have had the gear cable changed a few months ago due to it bein stretched as the car was stood for a while and got stiff and was fine after it was changed, is this problem anythin to do with the cable?

You will need to have a repair centre check out the vehicle. It could be the TPS (throttle position sensor) causing the problems. Have a tech look at the vehicle. At the moment it is dangerous to drive !
