So... sitting in park it will idle just fine? When in gear, how high does the tach go? Does it just keep running faster and faster? What happens when you hold the brake and put it in drive? Specifically... where do the rpm's stay when stopped in gear?
I would start by checking for vacuum leaks.

it doest have a tach. it stays at a steady speed when im stoped. thanks!

also i forgot to mention that it does not do it all the time. some days it runs great and other days it does its own thing. it does have a new tps and iac.

by iac do you mean idle air motor?
if this is the case, when i first installed my new ide motor the car would accelerate up to about 50km itself, i floored it once and i guess it calibrated itself because it never happened since.
