I WAS DRIVING MY 1995 TOYOTA CAMRY ON HIGHWAY, CLEAR DAY AND ROAD CONDITIONS AT 73 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED JUMPED TO 100 MPH WITHOUT ANY RIGHT PEDAL PUSH. I TOOK OFF MY LEG FROM THE RIGHT PEDAL EVEN THEN IT WAS CONTINUING TO GO AT 100 MPH, AND LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC WAS THERE AROUND ME, SO I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES AND WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE SPEED DOWN, THEN PUT DOWN THE VEHICLE INTO PARKING AND SHUT DOWN MY ENGINE. WITH THIS THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND DROVE ANOTHER 100 MILES BEFORE TAKING IT TO DEALER AND DID NOT SEE THIS PROBLEM . THE TOYOTA DEALER COULDN'T DIAGNOSE ANYTHING WRONG IN THE CAR AND SUGGESTED TO CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR NOT. *TR
