“Abnormal operation between accelerator and throttle. Tech tested throttle body and tests passed. Tech tested accelerator pedal and values out of range. Tech would think this could cause a dtc to set if not functioning properly but there were no codes. At random moments, the car will not accelerate. Cannot get answers. Occurs most often after idling at a light then starting to accelerate it won't move. This has occurred over the years so we have had the throttle and filter cleaned twice in the past but problem is persistent and becoming more frequent.”Owner report · Electrical System · Aug 2017
