    LOL! I love your response.


    So i kept drifting.

    my throttle actually stuck one time, it was after WOT too. apparently the little rubber grommet things on the throttle cable got stuck on my Throttle Bodie's lever thing. I was like, okay... pushed into neutral and tapped the gas and it got unstuck.

    Because the floor mats is not what is causing these problems, it is a faulty accelerator pedal assembly that houses a throttle position sensor. Basically it malfunctions and tells the computer to open the throttle 100% even though your foot is not on the gas pedal. Toyota FAIL:rolleyes2:

    yeah. all id heard from vague research is that the pedal was sticking under the floor mats. is there a second related issue or something?
