I was in a giant food store parking lot going 5 to 10 MPH. I was pulling up in the pickup lane to get my groceries. Upon completing a sharp left turn and getting ready to stop my engine revved up at a very high rate without pushing the accelerator down hard. I put my foot on the brake and put the car in neutral. The engine continued a high acceleration rate. I turn the engine off. The floor mat was not near the accelerator. I had only been going 5 to 10 MPH. This happened feb 14, 2010. The only thing unusual lately was that my vehicle computer chip part # 89661-02k21 was replaced on october 15, 2009. 2007 toyota matrix.
