Two things:
The accelerator cable is frayed or sticking. Change it or lube it alot.
Your idle is too high. Have it lowered.
The problem could be some type of vacuam problem. That is what happened to our Explorer. Or maybe a throttle body problem?
if you mean accelerator sticking, I would check the throttle bore. The plate gets heavy carbon build up and should get cleaned every 18,000 miles.
On modern cars, idle is controlled by the Electronic Control Module. An increase in RPM without pressing the gas pedal is called surging. Have the ECM checked for codes and fix the problems it has noted. This should fix the surging problem. On my car, it was the Oxygen sensor. But it could be a number of other things also, including a vacuum leak.
Make sure your floor mat (not even a corner of it) isn't on top of the accelerator pedal. Even the slightest weight can cause the pedal to accelerate enough to be noticeable. The floor mat can slip forward (and has) in two of our new vehicles when we were driving on the highway. It had worked its way off the anchors and slipped forward, causing the vehicles to accelerate.
If it's an automatic transmission, it might be normal provided the engine performance is ok. Auto trannies have a torque converter stall speed. I have a 96 Cadillac Fleetwood and it will move on its own.
Could use more info such as year, make, model, engine and if it has a carburetor or is it fuel injected.
More info.....Here is a list of the most common causes of engine hesitation during acceleration:
bad spark plugs
bad spark plugs wires
a dirty fuel filter
a dirty air filter
a bad carburetor
dirty fuel injectors
Faulty vacuum advance
vacuum lines incorrectly routedincorrect timing
vacuum leak(s)
incorrect fuel pressure (fuel injected)
faulty accelerator pump (carburetor)
contaminated fuel (water, etc)
faulty egr valve operation
faulty temp sensor (ECM controlled vehicle)

Add the letter t in the link from above (htps)
Broken throttle linkages, Jammed air butterfly valves, or possibly a damaged transmission.
You might need a new fuel pump. There is not enough fuel getting to the engine to start it, so if you press it than its enough.

Your car makes a squeaking noise it starts when you start the car and when you accelerate?
the most likely cause would be an improperly tensioned serpentine belt
How much money would you get if you scrap a car transmission?
Without separating the steel from the aluminum, not much.
Why automatic transmission ford escort 1996 1.9 before you start the car when press the break you hear some noise and then when you put shifter on D it goes on neutral or without pressing the clutch?
the noise you hear when stepping on the brake is a solenoid activating the lockout on the transmission. it stops you from putting the car in gear unless you step on the brake.
You get problems when starting to accelerate the car starts very slowly and then picks up what could be the cause?
You could have a slipping clutch which is not transmitting the drive correctly.
What can break on a car if you try to accelerate as fast as possible from 0 to 100 mph with very high RPM?
Pretty much anything that is rotating has a chance.
What causes a car to accelerate?
A person pressing the gas pedal.
A sentence for accelerate?
Pressing down on the gas pedal will cause the car to accelerate quickly.
How can you change san Andreas car speed?
You can accelerate by pressing up key in GTA SA.
Would a defective battery cause your car to not accelerate?
no
What should you do when your car accelerates without you pressing the gas?
press the break and call the car company you bought it from.
Will a bad tps make a car idle high and accelerate without pressing the gas pedal?
when the TPS stop's working properly and may throw a code , but it can make your idel real rough between this and your cars IAC( Idel air control) .
How you can accelerate without speeding up?
You can accelerate without speeding up by increasing the rate at which you're changing your speed rather than increasing your overall speed. This can be achieved by pressing down on the gas pedal more slowly but steadily, or using techniques like downshifting in a manual transmission car. The aim is to maximize the vehicle's acceleration while maintaining a steady speed.
How do unbalanced forces relate to everyday life?
Unbalanced forces in everyday life can result in objects accelerating or changing their motion. For example, pushing a door open with more force on one side can cause it to accelerate in that direction. Similarly, when driving a car, the unbalanced force from pressing the gas pedal can cause the car to accelerate.

How is it that Without friction between the road and the tires of a car it would be like driving on which surface?
Without friction, driving a car would be like driving on a very slippery surface, such as ice. The lack of friction would make it difficult to accelerate, brake, or steer the vehicle effectively, leading to a loss of control and unsafe driving conditions.
Why does a car slow down when you accelerate?
A car goes faster when you accelerate. It slows down when you brake.
What force would it take to accelerate a 900kg car at a rate of 6 ms2?
