Default friends grand prix w/3.8

hopefully u can help us out cuz i still dont know all that much bout engines, my friend has a grand prix with the 3.8 and he no longer has to hit the gas lol it goes by itself and he cant set the cruise or nething without it accelerating, im guessing that its the throttle stuck but is there anything else that can cause it that anyone knows of?

Could also be a sticky throttle cable.
