   Car was driving me at 35mph...without me touching the accelerator. clutch in = 4000 rpm!
   throttle cable isnt getting caught as far as i could see.
   possibly a sensor, not sure which one though.
   
   any help would be MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated!
   thanks guys

   removed the throttle body and totally clean it, i use ear buds and electrical contact cleaner (aerosol spray) take all the sensors out and give them a good clean. also make sure all the breather ports are clear ect.
