Default crazy throttle sticking to red line

So I have not had a chance to get this looked at. I just got my car back today. I was hit about a month ago. I think I have narrowed it down to eithere the tps or the maf.

If I am driving and shift the throttle seems to get stuck and costantly red line. Mind you my the clutch is to the floor and my other foot is not touching gas peddle all. I talked to andy from tvt he thought it might me my ecu. after resetting it I did not fix it. I was told from someone who knows nothing about crossfire's that it might be my clutch slipping. Granted I did learn how to drive a stick on this car. I wouldnt know if the clutch is going bad since its my first.

I thought it might be the maf or the tps. Is that possable? If not could it be the clutch slipping?

already looked for one. If I put it back in gear sometimes it will fix it. most of the time I have to come to an almost complete stop for it to stop doing it.

You were hit where on the car?
How bad was the damage?

Unless the damage was really bad, I doubt the mishap has anything to do with the engine racing.

Also, when the clutch is going out, the throttle does not redline all by itself.

There are four possible causes:

The actual throttle pedal is having a problem (like the Toyotas).
The TPS (throttle position sensor) is going bad.
The throttle body itself is having trouble with its motor.
The ECU is giving bad data to the throttle body.

Good luck.

BC.
