This is not a floor mat or sticky gas pedal problem - the car brakes okay and my foot is off the gas pedal and on the brake pedal when it happens. The engine goes to a normal stop idle and then surges…

I was accelerating from a stop through a traffic light when a truck in front of me suddenly stopped. I rear ended the vehicle. It seemed like the 4runner just…

The throttle control module was changed and the problem seemed to be fixed until it happened again…
