If your codes come up as the same that’s mine were then it’s strong possibility that it’s the pedal. Needswings has the correct pedal (at least it’s on the website.
It’s an easy replacement except for a washer that was difficult to get out, it was causing the pedal to hang up. Good luck whatever it is!
Thanks - doing my research here, I came across your post on it as well and that was very helpful, and a video showing the removal/washer issue. I also see a lot of people saying the same thing online about the Thottle Pedal Sensor, they it goes into "limp mode" when they mash the pedal, some noting the Check Engine light comes on - and in my case, now the Check Engine light is off after my similar experience today and car is driving normal so long as I don't jump on the pedal.
Confounding. I'm also seeing elsewhere online that others have also had issues with the Sprint Booster causing these symptoms and the 'Check Engine' light to come on, so I'm first going to try that angle. I'm going to disconnect the bypass, and reconnect the pedal directly. This car is not a daily driver so I'm in no way stranded, but is frustrating nonetheless.
I'll be getting a good code-reader for it now regardless if the 'Check Engine' light ever comes back on or not.
