alaxfire, thanks for this information. My comments were taken from the various posts here. What little I know about it, I've always assumed the crankshaft position sensor strictly dealt with the engine. Yes, of course the accelerator 'gives information to the engine' but I'd assume the problem is in the accelerator itself. That is why the APPS (accelerator pedal position sensor) mostly came up.

I checked out hundred's list of fixes and while there was a camshaft position sensor fix, I didn't see anything about a crankshaft position sensor.

Rather than start buying sensors would it make sense to do the throttle reset drill, even though the car is fine (for now)? No warning lights have come on when it was cutting out (though failed to check closely when it was happening).
