The PCM isn't an event recorder much beyond the last few moments of driving. The authorities can obtain data from moments before a crash but not hours after an "event".

 

Good to know. I wasn't sure.

 

*edit*

 

While my initial reaction is driver error, how wet was the inside of your car? A drop of water could technically connect the circuit between the pedal and the receiver.

 

Haha! Maybe they made your car at a Toyota plant.

 

lol tell me how the throttle sticking is driver error????

It is winter here and the ground was wet outside (not raining, just wet). So when I entered my car 3-4 minute prior to this event my shoes were probably damp but not wet by any means. Plus, the throttle pedal hangs down. Unless I jumped in the car and started kicking my feet (which would have to be covered in snow/rain) how would the sensor (which I assume is at the top of the pedal, probably 6-8 inches above my foot) get wet?

 

this has happened to me before. I was getting on it on a small stretch where no one is around, i usually go hard through 2nd and 3rd and stop. well i went to stop and the throttle kept going, even with the clutch pulled in. So i killed it, restarted, and it kept going. It was the rubber mats over the gas peddle. I haven't and will not let that happen again cuz it was pretty scary.

Maybe it was caught and then slipped off? I will say some times while accelerating decently and releasing the gas peddle, it feels like it wants to continue to accelerate and i can swear the rpms keep increasing, but it stops. Don't know if it is just in my head or what. I would def. get it checked out though

 

Remember the Audi and Toyota fiascos? Those both boiled down to driver error

 

this has happend to me twice. got in to it pulling into traffic and the floormat shifted under my foot and jammed the pedal. got lucky both times. not saying this is what happend to the OP. just adding my 2 cents.

 

Revenge of the Phantom foot.
