“My 2009 Toyota Tundra was repaired by Toyota this past friday as a result of the throttle body sticking open..ie would stall. After repairs, the truck drove fine for 2 hrs approx. After stopping for supper (1hr) I started my truck again...this time the engine accelerated in park upto 5,000 + rpms for 10-15secs and then down to 500 rmps...then repeated this over and over. I waited til the rpms dropped to 500 and placed truck in gear to try to get it home. The truck accelerated and took off on its own...almost taking me through a red light. …”
