Good morning, sorry for any delay, had internet problems last night - With the problems that are happening, there could be a throttle body or accelerator pedal sensor problem, but have seen some other issues with wiring and computer control systems. There should be some trouble codes setting in the engine computer which will help our diagnosis. - Recommend hooking up a scan tool or code reader and see what codes are setting. Then use scan tool to watch the input from accelerator pedal sensor as well as the throttle position sensors in the throttle body. Lemme know what youre seeing, or if any questions come up while checking it out!
