causes were:
1) when I bought it brand new and drove home, engine was breaking in
2) brake light switch was constantly turned on by hitting the brake pedal (overrides gas pedal)
3) low engine oil
Yeah #2 was my issue.

yep I was freakin puzzled when this happened after a shady shop did a brake fluid flush. he was pretty violent with the brake pedal and that might have shifted the pedal position to hit the switch

edit: you can adjust the position of the switch to sit lower
