Redneck cruise control?

Sounds as if the lever connecting the pedal pushrod with the tunnel rod is hanging up on the edge of the tunnel opening. The lever could be bent, or the tunnel edge bent, or the bushings leaving too much slop. This is not an uncommon problem on earlier 911s.

Peel back your carpet, pop the throttle pedal loose from the rod, remove the floorboard, pop the pedal back on the linkage, and watch where it hangs up when you depress it. (I've never owned a 3.2, so am assuming pedal/linkage in 3.2 cars is the same as earlier cars).

Also, on more than one occasion I have found a 911 with the clutch cable looped around the throttle rod inside the tunnel, which can cause strange things to happen.
