I have the same problem with a '98 that was just purchased. I haven't figured it out yet but, in the small amount of time I have had to look into it I believe it probably has something to do with my throttle position cable sticking. Also another symtom I have is that the car shifts wrong. It acts like it's always in passing mode like we've got it floored even when driving easy.
put the car in neutral
A linear accelerator works by having a magnet at the end of the accelerator. If the particle is neutral then it will not be attracted to the magnet and therefore nothing will happen, as in the case of a neutron.
The Lonely Position of Neutral was created on 2002-07-22.
Neutral-not moving;on a single position
The Netherlands had a neutral position during WO I.
The throttle cable runs on the backside of the the intake manifold. There should be 2 10mm screws. Loosen them with the car idleing and let the accelerator slowly close until your at the desired idle.
Neutrons have a neutral charge. It is a particle's charge that permits it to be boosted in a linear accelerator. Thus protons and electrons can be boosted, but neutrons alone cannot.
Shift to neutral, coast to shoulder, check linkage and repair before you proceed.
Sounds like a possible problem with the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). I had the same problem on my '94 Olds. Replaced the TPS and no more problems.
Mounted somewhere on the shifter.

The difference of TP and TPN in circuit breakers is the ability of the switch to hold a neutral position. With TPN, a neutral switch position is not possible. With TP, the breaker can be held in a neutral position.
