1 Car Throttle Sticking problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2005

I own a 2001 Toyota Tundra. It has just about 59,000 miles. When I use the brake to slow down or stop, the truck will stall in traffic. I will have to restart the truck and it will stall. I will try to start it again and I have to gun the engine and hold the brake pedal so as not to crash into something, and hope the truck will move. If I go about 300 feet and apply the brake again, it may stall. I have had it to the dealer 3 separate times for this and each time they tell me it is 'gunk' that needs to be cleaned, or a sticky throttle. Problem started in March 2005, again in July 2005 and now in Nov. The service performed is clean carbon build up in throttle body. Perform fuel induction. I am fearful that the truck will stall and I will be in an accident.
