1998 Toyota Tacoma cruise control problems

My 1998 toyota tacoma experience unexpected acceleration in 2004. The vehicle was totaled (worth about $12k at the time) due to the bent frame caused by hitting a concrete wall, then another car in a parking lot. My wife, a toyota employee, who was driving the truck, suffered bumps and bruises due to the fact the truck only went about 30 feet before impact. The insurance investigator found no problems with the vehicle, and postulated my wife had her foot on the accelerator.

I have a 1998 toyota tacoma pickup. Today october 14, 2010 I was driving on a surface street and my gas pedal dropped to the floor as I was driving. The engine revved up to extremely high rpm's. I tried to stop, but my new brakes were barely able to slow me down. I had to put the engine into neutral and park the truck. A friend and I looked the engine over and we found that there was about two inches of play in the accelerator cable were the cable meets the engine.
