The electronic throtle body control has to be replaced because the engine accelerator quits working and the engine runs at idle but there is no acceleration when you step on the accelerator pedal. This has happened when i stop at a signal or stop sign and then attempt to continue driving, and i have been stuck in the middle of the intersection on city streets. This has occured about 4 or 5 times in the last month.
