When there **is** a problem with your **electronic throttle control** , your engine **is** unable to get **the** correct amounts of fuel and/or air when they **are** needed. These problems can be caused by a variety of different factors: Electrical or electronic malfunctions in **the ETC** or engine computer.

sometimes bad sensors will cause that . see what you get from your reading and maybe pinpoint it and replace it.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
