| Description of the problem | Well i lost all throttle control for the first time. Engine light was on which disabled the vdc and cruise and the gas pedal. It has happened several times since then. When shutting the car off it is very hard to restart. When this happens and you try to stop the car doesn't want to it just pulses forward so more brake pedal is needed. If you put it in park the engine revs high. This is a known issue with the tps not being able to communicate with the throttle servo via the tcm. This issue happens at random. Usually when i've been driving it for about 10 minutes. |
