Thanks for input - here's more details.

Car has been running fine on a daily basis. Actually, the problem started while driving on the roads. Suddenly started accelerating when my wife was driving it, throttle fully opened without any pressure on the gas pedal.

Car has not sat, stored in garage overnight. Daily commuter (10mile drive through city)

With the intake hose removed I started it up and pumped the gas pedal, I can see the throttle cable/pulley working ok, also the butterfly valve at the air intake point. But it would still go mad and rev to redline with no input to gas pedal.

Very scary.
