engine accelerating on its own
'93 E150, 5ltr/302ci, FI, auto/OD
accelerates on its own, and will hold 60 MPH in OD
I can be sitting at a light, then the engine RPMs will greatly increase by itself
sometimes I can shut the engine off and restart...then it will go back to low idle
however, after a short time, the RPMs will start increasing again
occasionally the check-engine lite will come on for a few minutes, then reset
no customary reason found for this
the steering wheel air bag "clock spring" has needed replacing, so horn and cruise are not working
could this be the issue that's creating the acceleration?
or is it related to the fuel-injector system?
or something completely different?
your thoughts greatly appreciated

a problem with the wiring in the steering column could be causing your problem. Since you know that there is a problem with the air bag, I would start there. Be careful around the air bag though......those things will reach out and slap ya....
