I drove it to a store and when I got back in, I did that again - don’t know what the heck I’m doing 🙂. Then drove home. It was was smooth and accelerated normally.

What does that tell you?

Why did it fix the problem? Because I'm a genius and you're magical! Nah, it probably just dislodged whatever was in there... or at least moved it to a different spot and it will reappear at a later time
