Engine is accelerating without my command
Does anyone know what would cause the car to keep accelerating with my foot off of the gas pedal whether it is in gear or in neutral? I nearly caused an accident yesterday because it wouldn't slow down on the highway, I had to shut the car off after redlining in neutral.
Before anyone suggests to clean the TB, I've been down that road a million times and have to clean the ls4 TB every three months.
So three potential problems I've identified are random vacuum hose, TB motor is bad, or some freak fuel issue with the tune. I cleaned the MAF and TB last night and didn't see any changes.
Any ideas or things to test would be greatly appreciated.

No? I have posted before with issues about the ls4 tune but eventually figured it out. This is a completely different issue where the car will take off on its own. I did multiple searches for similar situations and did not find anything.

Unfortunately I returned the stock to zzp as a core so I might be stuck buying a new ls4. If I had the choice I'd go back to stock, but then I would have no way to retune it.
