Default 1992 Jaguar Vanden Plas - Acceleration Problem

I just bought a used 1992 Jaguar Vanden Plas.... and my first problem is after the car warms up it accelerates by itself... I almost ran into the back of another car... only way to stop it was to turn it off.

I am figuring it is the Throttle Body sensor and/or the Throttle spring is worn

Question has anyone else had the issue or know the fix?

I am a new member and owner - thanks in advance

Tammy aka Tarantula Jag
