Somethings Wrong with Idleing on 95 740i

I was driving my 740i the other night and when i got speed up to aroun 40mph and tried to slow down it seemed harder to slow my huge car. i took my foot off the brake as the light turned green and the car slowly pulled off and continued to accelerate without me touching the gas pedal. i quickly got home and parked and turned the car off when "trans. failsafe prog" came up on the indicator. then it disapeared. i tried to start the car the next morning and as soon as it was on it reved as if my foot was on the gas i tapped it cause i thought it was stuck then i got down and pulled it. it contiued to rev excessivly so i turned it off. whats going on with my car
please help! :help :help :help

Please help!

Sounds like a stuck throttle. Check and lubricate as necessary the pedal, throttle linkage, and everything in between.

do you know where the throttle is on those cars?
is it hard to get to the throttle and do i need a code or something to take off the throttle body? :help :help
