After engaging acceleration a little bit over 3K RPM at 70 mph at the highway, brake is completely
locked and engine is keep running at the same speed even without engaging accel. I had the same
"deadly experience" two times today at the busy highway. First one was around 5-10 seconds and second
one was around over 30 seconds. After then accel & brake control was back to normal suddenly.

I check floor-mat (OK), and I am suspicious of TPS but I have no clue overall. Could you give me
some advice? Around 4 months ago, I replaced knock-sensor and O2 sensor (rear), and increase the
idle to 800 because car used to stall at the stop sign.
I checked also MAF sensor, but it seems OK. Thank you
