CAR is acting really weird! help

Hey guys...lil problem here For some odd reason as im driving my car decides to rev by itself! For example today early morning drove my car, no throttle just crusing and the cars rpms rose and lowered! Id be at a complete stop and it would do the same thing. I would need to have the brakes appied or else the car would jump forward! Anybody know what i mean here?

Car is a 2005 mustang GT AUTO, JLTII intkae, bama 91 oct tune, slp lm, o/r H

thankyou!

Could be a dirty throttle body or a bad TPS (throttle position sensor).

Do what Don W. suggests first. That is the likely cause.

Here's the write-up from Doug. Be sure to use Throttle Plate & Intake Cleaner (link at bottom). When I installed my C&L Street CAI, decided to clean TB & plate while I was at it. Also, you might also want to clean your MAF wire (with proper MAF cleaner).
