Other Fuel System problem #1

I backed out of my driveway onto the road. I shifted from reverse to drive. I put my foot on the gas pedal and did not experience typical acceleration. I took my foot off the gas pedal completely. Then I put my foot back on the gas pedal and pushed down harder than normal to see if I got a response. At this point the engine began to rev. Then I had to put my foot on the brake to prevent the car from moving forward. Even with my foot on the brake the engine continue to rev and the car was still moving forward. I put the car in neutral and with my foot off the gas pedal the engine continue to rev. I then depressed the gas pedal with my foot briefly and took my foot off and the engine stopped revving at this point. I put it in drive and had no problems with it after that point. While the vehicle was revving my left foot was not touching or near the gas pedal. The floor mat was not in the way. And my right foot was free and unencumbered. There was no traffic around me so I was able to fully concentrate on the issue and did not hit anyone or anything.

Other Fuel System problem #2

Purchased 2002 Toyota Sienna new. Purchased hess gas in florida, (ethan within 24 hours check engine light came on. Had checked and reset and eventually came back on gain. Rec'd some estimates an was told it was either oxygen sensor or catalytic conv. Catalytic below threshold hold need to be replaced. Replaced and 3 months out of warranty engine light on again. Check diagnostic and again same code. Had it reset, did no repairs within 9 months light on again. Told it is definitely the catalytic conv. (longest) one; same one recently replaced. Can't understand why this happening again. Is there a problem with the obd or is it really the caty. Or oxygen sensor. . Dealership would not even offer any type of discount, they quoted me the same price and I asked, "how could it be the same part?" "could it be done at half cost? was told it was about 1500 parts and labor again.
