Problem: While driving, at seemingly random times the throttle will go unresponsive or slightly responsive. Shutting the car off and restarting seems to clear it and resume normal operation (like I'm driving a Microsoft-Benz).


Any thoughts on what it can be?

Sounds like the throttle position sensor. Not the throttle control module, but the sensor. They're about $100 and an easy replacement. You may want to check the codes before tossing parts at it though.

Kind of what I was thinking. Thanks!

Was it the c219700 followed by the c326600 code cuz that’s what I have right now so I don’t know if I should replace the accelerator pedal or if it’s a wheel sensor
