Ok something to check is under the hood where the throttle body is theres a semi circle piece of plastic that has the throttle cable attached to it now the what thats mounted on to below that is a little screw with a hex head and a small bolt make sure that hasn't moved come loose or is missing.
Other then that sounds like the top dead center crap.

I have an 01 LX Auto and it would do the same thing and i thought it was nothing so i didnt take a look at it but after a while, it totally fucked on me when i was in a parking lot and the car just staright took off uncontrollably, i had to hold my brake down or else the car would accelerate on its own and would not stop. also since i never got it checked out, everytime i turned on my car and it was in gear, it would accelerate non stop but if it was in park or neutral, the idle would climb all the way up to redline and the only thing to stop it was turning the car off. My homie thought it was the throttle cable that was loose or something so he somehow got my car to settle down and told me that it could either be my throttle body or torque converter. Took my car to a shop and it turns out to be a the tranny on its last leg. Hope this info helps, hopefully for you its nothing to major and i just wanted to share my story in what happened to me since i was careless about my ****...
