 Description of the problemI have owned my 2006 toyota corolla s with a 5-speed manual transmission since july 2006. In that time i have had approximately 5 incidences when the engine raced unexpectedly. This has always occurred when i had the clutch depressed and was braking. I have thought that my right foot, which i intended to be on the center of the brake pedal, was actually on the side of the brake pedal such that it simultaneously contacted the accelerator pedal. This explanation is problematic in that even with the brake pedal fully depressed, it is still higher than the accelerator pedal. The only way i could be depressing both the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time is for my foot to be twisted and off center at the same time. Maybe this is possible, i don't know. What usually happens is that the engine races(maybe 4000 to 5000 rpm) but since the clutch is already depressed and my foot is on the brake, the car does not speed up. Usually the engine only races for a second or two and i don't know how it gets settled down--maybe i reposition my foot a little--i don't know what happens because it is always unexpected and happens so quickly i am left confused and scared. The last time this happened was a few days ago so with all the publicity about toyota accelerator pedals, i thought i would report this problem even though my car is not covered in the recall.
