When I'm driving my cars throttle sometimes randomly shut down. The power in the car is fine when it does that it's just that. I replaced my pedal sensor throttle body and pcm. I cannot figure this out. Sometimes I have to hold my pedal down 3 seconds then it starts moving slowly and I can get to 60 moh in about 35 seconds.

We need to start with what codes you have. More than likely you have an APP sensor issue but if you have codes that will point us in the correct direction.

Let's check codes and go from there. Thanks

P0688 - ASD Main Sense circuit
P2122 - APP Sensor 1 circuit low
P2127 - APP Sensor 2 Circuit Low
P2138 - APP 1 and 2 Correlation

Okay. You more than likely have a wiring issue. I would take either the APP 1 code and run through it or the P2138 and I am sure you will find the issue. It could be the PCM but again, if it is wiring then you will not fix it with a PCM.

I attached the code detail for these codes. Again, run through the p2122 or the P2138 and I am sure you will find the issue for all of them except for possibly the P0688.
