RE: accelerator stuck
Throttle Position Sensor.
Norton, I had it happen a couple time in my GT. I would accellerate, change gears and never hear the RPM's drop and then my car would keep accellerating!! Figured out the pedal was hanging up on the stupid floor mats.
There was a recall on 03/04 Cobra's about the floor mats grabbing the pedal!!!

Do have a link, because i have no idea what the throttle position sensor is. Does it move the gas pedal father out? Because my gas pedal sits pretty low...
I have only had the floor mat stick to the gas pedal a couple times but it sometimes slides down under it and i get better gas mileage..lol

RE: accelerator stuck
check the tps, and then check your pedal and the cables attached for any kinks in it, my friend has a mach 1 and his stuck because the cable from his pedal was all messed up, or the floor mat, yes that has also happend to me as well
