Description of the problem	My toyota tacoma pre runner 2003, throttle position sensor failed on the freeway and i could not accelerate. Almost crashed because traffic was really going fast and i had no throttle response . I put the truck in neutral and i put my emergency lights on and rolled to the nearest of ramp. If it wasn't for my years of experience driving, this would not have been so easy. This is very common but the repairs are not. 1500 dollars at the dealership. There are several cases of this occurring if you go to toyota forum you will see this is not a unique situation. This started when i first got the truck in august 2009 but who knows if the previous owner new about the problem. I think she did. I cannot fix it because they only sale the entire throttle body which cost 1200 dollars plus labor 160 dollars. Almost 1500 dollars. *jb
