Description of the problem	Driving and vehicle lost power. Could push accelerator to the floor and there was no response. Happened while driving straight at highway speed and the car remained running but no accelerator response. Pulled to the shoulder and the car sputtered and acceleration control returned but car was running very poorly and acceleration control came and went. Obd2 code p0087 was read when check engine light came on the next day when trying to start the vehicle. All starts since the incident have been hard starts. The wastegate actuator sensor rod retainer clip was found to be missing, it was replaced and the sensor was tested to ensure correct voltage (between 3. 9 and 4. 1). Obd2 code was cleared and car ran ok for a test drive but the following day, all symptoms had returned and we again experienced no accelerator response. Retest of the wastegate actuator indicated the the voltage was still in range. This is a dangerous condition because it results in complete loss of accelerator control.
