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?
I own an 1989 Lincoln Town Car, and I've noticed that it tends to accelerate on its own when I increase my speed without using the cruise control. What could be causing this issue? Could it potentially be related to the throttle position sensor? I’ve also observed that the accelerator seems to stick during these instances. Any insights would be appreciated.

When you have a bad battery ground cable connection to the body or motor the accelerator cable becomes a ground point. The wire in the accelerator cable arcs to the cable housing internally causing the cable to stick. When the motor moves on the motor mounts it can cause the throttle to open when you hit small bumps in the road.
