This might sound stupid but check your Cruise Control. I don't know what year your car is but mine is a 2002 and the cruise control is next to my steering wheel and I remember once it was "ON" and I felt the car going by itself.

yea check your throttle cable, it could be stuck on something or something is interferring with it therefore making the car rev higher and surge.
