In 1989 toyota had this problem with the tercel.. I had one they did a fix but not a recall.. I don't know for sure but i bet it is the same problem.. They treated me horrible and i about died... They knew then that type of accelerator would stick,, then knew all the way back then and did nothing.. I so hope this help and get investigated.. Then knew in 1989 on the tercel.
