Description of the problem	After purchasing gas at 6:30 a. M., i started my 2008 toyota matrix and was rolling slowly out a slight incline to the street. The car lurched forward and i jammed first one foot then both feet on the brake while pulling up the emergency brake. It felt like holding back a horse at the starting gate. I put the car in park and the engine began racing like it does during an auto emissions test. I turned the car off and it stopped. I finally got the nerve to start the car again and it performed normally as it has since. I took the car to performance toyota in fairfield ohio on april 3rd as instructed by the service department so they could try to recreate the situation and have it on record that i experienced this incident.
