“I recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Fj Cruiser with 95k miles on it. All was fine for about a month until I started experiencing unexplained accelerating and RPM surging when driving below 30 MPH and regularly while stopped in traffic with my foot on the brake. It's not a huge rev, but rather the engine will suddenly rise from normal idle RPM to about 1300 RPM, then back down again. I can feel the transmission grabbing and I have to keep the brake depressed to keep from taking off. The surge generally lasts for less than 10 seconds and then goes away for a short time. …”
