I have a 92 Dodge Dakota 318 and just yesterday, it was slightly chilly out and my throttle stuck open and sent me hurtling down the road, just the opposite of your problem. It could be your throttle or it may be that your fuel injectors are dirty. First check out your EGR valve because if that's sticking that can do it, i had the same problem except is woulnd't shift from second to third. So the EGR valve is your best bet. If you have a computer for your car or know someone who does check it out.
