Just wanted to report back to say that my problem turned out to be flakey DFP pedals. Just confirmed that on occasion when I step on the gas, the brake engages for some reason. Does this in control panel so it's not LFS. Thanks.
DFP pedal potentiometer maintenance help needed.

joey, in Control Panel > Game Controllers > Logitech Driving Force Pro, click Properties, then Settings. You will see a tick in the checkbox "Combined (single axis - used for most game)". Untick this box.. LFS is a sim, not a game 
Well aware that this is a sim and I never use combined pedals. The pots on my DFP are dirty so they are acting all erratic. Just confirmed with the spare set of pedals I have. The old pedals are shot. Anyone know how to clean these things? Looks like a bunch of grease in there collected tons of dirt. Last time I took apart a set of pedals I couldn't get the pot to lay right and screwed it up even more :-)
Sorry Joey, I misread your post. I'm gonna blame sleep deprivation 
. I'll move your posts and mine to the wheel section, where hopefully someone with some wisdom will be able to help.

What is happening is the pot is loose and with the wires for both pots all tangled up inbetween the pedals, you are moving the other pot through the tangled wires.
There is a little nub ball on the bottom of the pot that sits in a slot on the base of the pedals. I originally tried to wedge a piece of folded up paper in there to tighten them up. That was a long time ago. Shortly after, I read someone here used "blue goo" or some type of silicon gasket stuff, or even caulking would probably work, to try to hold the pot in better. My little nub on the pot has since broken off, which I used a cheap JBWeld product to make a new tab to hold it in. That worked for a while. Recently I just superglued the sucker on there.
Somewhere around here is a thread on Momo/DFP pedals that lists a part number from some site that actually sells the Momo/DFP replacement pots. The product they list is actually called "Momo pedal potentiometers" or something like that. I no longer have the link, nor do I remember the exact company or what thread here it was in.
Scratch that, here's the link, Momo Force and Momo Racing Force repair kits (2 separate kits). The Momo Racing Force kit would be the same as the DFP since they are identical pedals:
