    1985 PONTIAC 6000 STE. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME TYPE OF ACCELERATION PROBLEM TOYOTA IS HAVING. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM AN ON-RAMP. THE THROTTLE STUCK FULL OPEN. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET WHILE GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL. I MANAGED TO SLOW THE CAR BEFORE IMPACT BY PRESSING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AT THE LAST MOMENT PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. THE THROTTLE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. AFTER THIS EVENT THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF 2 TIMES BEFORE I DONATED THE CAR TO A LOCAL CHARITY. ON THOSE OCCASIONS I SIMPLY PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. I ALSO NOTED THIS PROBLEM ON THE TITLE AND ADVISED THE CHARITY OF MY EXPERIENCE. THIS HAPPENED OVER ONE YEAR AGO. I REPORT IT AT THIS TIME BECAUSE IT IS RELEVANT TO THE EXISTING TOYOTA PROBLEM. IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WOULD HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM I'M WILLING TO PROVIDE MORE DETAIL. *TR
