Also , I have seen mal adjusted / bad break switches do that , you can take your foot and put light pressure under the break peddle , lifting it slightly , if it stays in Lock Up , that's your problem .

Yep, TPS. Take a look in the sticky at the top of the 1st gen board for info on adjusting the TPS (try that first, it's free) as well as a few low-buck alternatives to a $200 TPS.
