AS OF 07/30/11 AT 7PM I WAS COMING HOME FROM A PARK WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE IN MY CAR. AS SOON AS WE EXITS THE ENTRANCE MY CAR STARTING SPEEDING REALLY FAST LIKE SOMEONE HAD JUST SLAMMED THEIR FOOT ON MY GAS PEDAL...OH BOY I WAS IN DEEP TROUBLE...I HAD TO SHIFT GEARS SO QUICK SO THAT I WON'T HIT THE REDLINE AND BLOW MY ENGINE.. I PULLED OVER AND SET MY CAR ON NEUTRAL BUT MANN MY CAR WAS STILL REFFING SO I TURNED OFF MY ENGINE...TURN MY ENGINE BACK ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING..AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY CAR IS DOING THAT.. I CALLED A FRIEND AND HE TOLD ME TO UNPLUGGED MY BATTERY FOR 10 SECS. AND PUT IT BACK ON.. AND IT WORKED...OH BOY SO I THANKED THE LORD BECAUSE NOBODY WAS HURT AND LUCKILY THERE WEREN'T ANY CARS DURING THAT TIME...
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEMS, ANYONE KNOW OR HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SAME? |

The caps lock really isn't necessary. As far as your friend unplugging the battery, that's a moot point since the Celica uses a drive-by-cable throttle, not drive-by-wire. It's a mechanical system so odds are if your throttle cable stuck once, it could stick again. You need to check that out. It could be a burr on the cable.
