My cougar has the 3.8 l v6 at start up it idles really high and will accelerate on its own i dont really know how to explain it.While going to work today it was holding a speed of 70 even without the accelerater being depressed.could this be the throttle position sensor or the maf sensor??

Try cleaning out the idle air control valve and test the TPS
