Description of the problem	First occurrence 12/5/11. I was driving through a parking lot and check engine light came on as i lost the ability accelerate. I coasted to a parking space, shut my car off and was waiting for a tow truck. After and hour i turned my car back on and all seemed fine. I took it straight to the dealership where they found problem p2138, accelerator pedal assembly problem. They replaced the accelerator pedal. All seemed to be working fine. Second occurrence 1/21/12. I was driving along a side road, check engine light came on as i once again lost the ability to accelerate. Shut the car off, sat for a few minutes and turned it back on. I was able to drive but the check engine light was still on. I got my car home and hooked up the diagnostic computer to it and got the same p2138 code. I readjusted the wires connecting the accelerator and check engine light went off. My concern is that this problem is going to occur when i am driving on the highway. Obviously the replacement of the accelerator pedal is not the solution to this problem.
