Car is sometimes giving itself throttle without any throttle input. I know these cars have drive by wire throttle, could it be an issue with this? For example if I'm cruising along in drive the car starts speeding up by itself, if I put it into neutral the revs start climbing up and then generally fall back to normal idle after a few seconds. I know the auto trans has some issues and I am waiting for some cash to give it a full rebuild, wondering whether something in the auto trans is doing this? Cheers in advance.

Is there a possibility that the drive by wire system is faulty or that there is something Erin with the ecu? I'm 99% sure that it's an electronic issue not mechanical.
