Disconnect the kick down solenoid at the right rear of the trans. If it makes a difference the problem is the cheap plastic switch under the gas pedal. I like to start at the trans solenoid as that verifies there are no electrical circuit causes. I have never seen it but since kickdown is regulated in the fuel pump relay a defect there could also keep it engaged, but not if disconnected at the trans.
