Description of the problem	Was driving at approx 55 mph when all of a sudden check engine light came on, cruise light was flashing, and sport light was flashing, car slowed down to 10 mph and could not go any faster. It was revved up to redline and there was no response with the gas pedal. I was only 2 miles from my destination, so i limped it there and shut it off. I had it scanned with a code scanner and code "p2138" (throttle position sensor) came up. After much research i found it usually is related to gas pedal assy. It has not yet happened since clearing the code and making sure the plug on the pedal was tight.
