    Car drives itself

    I had a issue with my car yesterday of it accelerating on its own. As soon as I turned the car on it started revving up and when I put it in drive and let off the brake I could get to about 30mph without touching the gas pedal. The whole issue came from the rubber bushing from the cruise control got stuck where the cruise control throttle cable connects keeping it open.
