Had a similar problem with my 4.0, you need to have the adaptive values reset on the computer, it will cost around £40 + vat.

not wanting to state the obvious but have you checked to see the throttle cable or cruise control cable are not jammed. (i had this with mine when i caught the cable when sorting another problem.)

Just a thought
