    Accord Excelerates by Itself

    I have a 89, LXi, auto EFI and it will ocasionaly exceleate by itself which is becoming dangerous. I will be driving along at a slow speed and it will excelerate by itself. Sometimes the tack will go to 4k. I will have to step on the brake while it is still getting gas and then shift into neutral at high rpms, then hit the gas to rev it down.

    I needs some advice . Thanks,jim

    Sounds like your throttle cable is sticking.

    or the plate it self, try cleaning the throttle body
