Answer 1

Sounds like your throttle position sensor.

Answer 2

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR CAR MIGHT HAVE A VACUUM LEAK CHECK THE HOSES AT THE BACK OF THE ENGINE AS AFTER A TIME THESE HOSES COLSPES CHECK FOR NOISES LIKE HISSING OR AIR LEAKING ALLSO CHECK THE THROTTLE LINKAGE TO SEE IF THE CABLE IS TO TIGHT

Answer 3

I would say take it in for a tune up somthing is not right there. it  sounds like it could be running too rich. this is most likely a computer issue and can be corrected with about 30 mins on a cose reader.

is there a check engine light?

does it restart right after or does it flood?

Answer 4

The make and year would be a major help , some cars are using a "drive by wire system " where the pressure on the pedal is converted to an electrical signal and in turn a computer feeds the carb , others work direct  

Answer 5

You haven't helped us much as you haven't named the car! Faults can occur with throttle sensors which are relatively cheap to replace. Or it could just be a loose connection to the sensor. Take it to a main dealer if you can't locate the sensor which is usually a quadrant at the end of the throttle cable, under the bonnet.  

Answer 6

You could have a clutch problem.
