It will continue to excellarate, even if my foot is not on the gas pedal, which results using the brake pedal much too often...Would you know the cause of this & what to do to correct this problem?

If it's an automatic take it to a mechanic. If it's a stick then change gears sooner.

First of all, locate, remove, and clean your IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. I always recommend using Amsoil Foaming Cleaner and Gum-out for this job. You can run these chemicals through a running engine and remove unwanted deposits from O2 sensors and converters. You're on the right track by cleaning your throttle body, just go a little bit deeper. You can reset the computers on most Nissan products by turning the key on and off 5-6 times, waiting 5 seconds in between. Good luck!!

I have had the same problem. although i do not know what causes it, I do know I went to Advance Auto and got a new throttle sensor and that fixed the problem. I think it was like 12 bucks or something.

It could be the carberator if it's an old car. Newer cars don't have carberators they have fuel injection. My friend said the flow could be stuck. Flow has another word but he can't remember what it is called. I am sure a mechanic would know.
Good luck

The carburetor needs adjusted. See a mechanic.

The Gas pedal controls the gas throttle opeing lever...that allows the GASOLINE+AIR mixture inside the engine combustion chamber.......the lever is jammed....get it lubricated so that it Moves as desired..and does not stick....at one place...allowing lotsof fuel inside the engine............................................................................................................. fine..Okie....I hope it solves the issue.
TO locate...the Gas control lever.....OPEN the Bonnette of car...
Press....the Accelerator....
Look for the lever around the engine....(below the hood) that moves..... :) :)
Get theengine....tuned if you are uncomfortable opening the Bonnette...

i would check the throttle position sensor or the crankshaft position sensor , or take it to a good shop and have them check the sensors.
