Since you were not able to reply to the info request I sent. I cannot be as accurate and thorough as I would like in my answer. I hope what I can provide does help. Possible causes for this can be a throttle body or accelerator pedal position sensor failure. It can also be to blame on a wiring failure at either of these parts. Thank you for seeking us for help, I hope I provided what was needed. Press reply if you need to follow up. If you liked my answer please let me know so I can mark your question complete. Moose
