Hi - the sudden nature of this failure would suggest a fuse or other electrical link, but you have checked the obvious. Further diagnosis is needed to determine which component in the electrical power chain (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/the-best-tool-for-mechanics-to-diagnose-electrical-issues) has failed - switch,...

Among the possibilities are faults in the throttle position sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/throttle-position-sensor-replacement), mass airflow sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/mass-airflow-sensor-replacement), vacuum leaks, a clogged fuel filter, defective EGR valve or control circuit, and worn out spark plugs and wires.
