This is wierd
Last night when I was on my way home from KY, I stopped by sonic for some supper, when I pulled out, nice and smooth exit, not much throttle, my silver fox started running rough, and the accelerator quit working, got pulled into a KFC and it was running rough, I was thinking it seemed like it was getting to much air.
No codes.
Turned ignition off waited a minute then restarted, was running real rough, then it died, I popped the hood and looked around, if I could see anything stand out at me, got back in and it started back up, seemed to be running fine, I asked my baby to get me the next 1 1/2 hours home and I would dig in and figure out the problem.
Still no codes.
Leaving KFC it seemed like the pedal had a delay and more responsive, slight delay on acceleration but when it did, seemed like it had another 30 hp, alot more giddy up, and shifting through the gears, everytime I let off the accelerator to shift and back on was a delay and very very slight studded then cam alive.
Still no codes.
Got to just 15 minutes from home and pulled over and turned off for 30 ish minutes and walked around a store, giving time for her to cool down some and see what happens.
After restart codes came up.
P0101 - powertrain
Mass or volume air circuit change / performance problem
P0221 - powertrain
Throttle / pedal position sensor / switch "b"
Circuit range / performance problems
Thought that explained the problems in was thinking with the air flow and the pedal.
But I don't remember and searched here and haven't seen problems with the throttle pedal sensor.
Thought great this might be another impossible part to find.

Curious if anyone has remembered a problem with the accelerator sensor?
Granted any part can go out, I am just surprised if the accelerator assembly having a problem.
No codes.
