Unhappy Engine Idels Excessively,and Car Goes By It Self

I Have A 96 Ford Thunderbird 3.8l Recently I Was Driving And Felt What I Thought Was The Gas Pedal Move Beneath My Feet By Itself..when This Happend I Noticed My Car Was Hard To Stop,and When It Did Stop As Soon As I Let Off The Brake It Would Go With Out Me Touching The Peadle At All..i Stopped My Car Again Put It In Park And Noticed The Engine Was Idleing Way Beyond Its Usual Limit..and As You May Guess When I Put It Bck In To Drive I Felt A Jerk Form The Tranny..as If I Had Put It In Drive With The Accelerater Mashed Down..can Anyone Tell Me What May Be Causeing This Problem????? Please?

Have you played with anything under the hood? Sounds like the TB is sticking open or has been hung up on something.

Sounds exactly like a bad IAC (idle air controller), the black thing on your throttle body. take it off and clean it, see if that helps.
