I have an 89 Lincoln Town Car and it tends to accelerate on its own when I speed up without the cruise control what is the cause of this?

Could it be the throttle position sensor? Also the Accelerator tends to get stuck as well when that happens.

When the motor moves on the motor mounts it can cause the throttle to open when you hit small bumps in the road.... Show More
