it is the actual pedal staying down or is it that car jst keeps going even when the pedal comes back up mate?

matty i am prity sure its staying down because if i put my hand behind the pedal and push it back the revs go to normal and pricer will give that ago .
and if i accelerate gently and dont put the pedal all the way to the floor its ok but somtimes i can push it to the floor and theres not a problem its weird like.
