Description of the problem	when accelerating at about 40 mph the cruise control would not work when i tried to engage it, however the car began speeding up quickly while my foot was off the gas peddle. I tried to engage/disengage the cruise control but got no response, except the engine rpm and car was still speeding up, the car was getting close to 60mph and i began putting on the brakes the car was still trying to accelerate and rpm still going up as i was stopping the car. This car continues to accelerate faster on it's own when driven and today 5/19/14 again from about 35 to 50 in about a mile, this was not as severe as the first time but is troubling and a waste of my gas and brakes. This is a taurus sel with automatic trans. And a 3. 9l v6 engine. I found the cruise control cable off of the lever it connects to near the intake manifold( after reading about other taurus models/years with the same problem). I will be contacting a ford dealer to see if they have a fix as cable is still very loose after i tried to reconnect it.
