Re: Accelerator sticking again!!!!!
It is possible that there is dirt and crud inside the cruise control actuator. You don't mention if this happens when the cruise control is on or off, but the throttle and cruise control are mechanically linked through that actuator. If it is sticking, then it ought to be replaced...I do not know if the unit can be opened for repair or cleaning.
Does the CRUISE light on your instrument panel flash when you turn it on? If so, there is a trouble code stored in the ECU. Download the Body Electrical System service manual stickied at the top (BE) and read the code (page BE-168).
Another but less likely possibility is that the little magnetic clutch that engages the cruise control is not disengaging or has a short circuit. This may also require replacement of the actuator.
Perhaps you can disconnect the cable from the actuator to the throttle to prevent this until you can look at it?
