Help . . z31 revving in neutral w/out pushing pedal

I was heading back home today from the store. After getting on the highway, the Z started revving on its own without me putting any pressure on the pedal.

Then when I put the clutch in or placed the car in neutral, the car would rev up to 4K, once again without me placing a foot on the pedal.

Any ideas what could possibly by causing the problem.

Check your accelerator cable on top of the throttle body. Sometimes where the cable enters the protective cover, there are bits that can break and jam.

Thanks.

There was a piece of the protective covering that had broken off and looked to be getting stuck. I removed it from the cable and am about to find out if that solves the problem.
