To play the devil's advocate for a moment, When this happens, does it do it when you are say: driving down a flat road, no wind, and between 32-41 MPH? you let off the throttle as you might be coasting up to a stop sign?
P.S. Does the "problem" quit the instant you depress the brake pedal enough to activate the brake lights?

Welcome to the forum, fatben; come back and let us know how the dealership visit goes. How many miles are on your truck?

For what it is worth,
I was towing our TT through Seattle North bound on I5.

I was changing lanes and accelerating to match the traffic in the new lane when my throttle stuck.

I reached down grabbed the floor mat and pulled it back a little.
Problem solved.

Not to say that is your issue but it might be worth a look!

I cant imagine that the actual gas pedal sticks because its electronic and there is only a wire attached to the end of it not a throttle cable check the throttle body, unplug the harness going to it to see if there is any corrosion in which case you need a new male or female fitting, also doesnt hurt to disassemble the throttle body and make sure its clean which is only another 4 bolts and its off the intake manifold.

^^^ Of course it can stick. Anything that binds the linkage and stops it from returning fully will cause throttle input. It's just via wires instead of cable.

I too had it catch on carpet and it was stuck wide open. There was no fixing it from the driving position. Thankfully traffic wasn't bad as I was doing 90 before I turned the engine off and coasted to the side of the road. I had to get out to fix it. It's neat that the power steering still worked with the engine not running.

I had that happen in my 04 cobra not long after I bought it. Scared the hell out of me. WOT was a bit different in that car. Luckily a few stomps of the pedal released it, but the floor mats came out after that. Put a set of Lloyd mats in it, and never has a problem.

i had a few replies that went to my spam and did not show up on this forum so i just wanted to answer them,my truck has the rubber floor covering with no floor mats and i know its all electronic now i guess i should say the rpms stay at 1500-1800 for along time after i let my foot off the gas at 5-10 mph it also shifts into second gear by itself with my foot off the gas.this is my work truck my boss says leave it alone i find it very annoying, i used to get 15.9 mpg now with this problem i am getting 14 mpg,i was going to trade my 2012 tacoma in for a nice f150 short bed but not if the tec says "they all do it".

The tech that said that is wrong. They don't all do that. Something is amiss. It may not have anything to do with the accelerator pedal. It could be something with the engine.

It needs to be connected to a computer or scanner of sorts to know where the problem lies. You can get all sorts of information including TPS condition.
