It felt like more than the SC. If the SC would cut out there would be a loss of power but not enough to make the car jolt/lurch like that. Maybe moisture was the cause, like you said in the throttle body or fuel line. As it was raining for several days and I don't have a garage to shield my car.
If it was the latter is that something that has already resolved itself (ie no permanent damage).
PS I drove it today and it drove like a champ!
