It is rare among Toyotas because Toyota favors dual element throttle position sensors, but it can happen. Replacing the TPS is the obvious first step. My partner at work had a Ford Explorer that went full throttle three times. He had the TPS replaced and it never gave a bit of trouble. The computer won't register anything unusual on a single element TPS because for all it knows you mashed the pedal to the floor.
