Throttle Lock up?
I was driving on the freeway last night in crusie control at 60 mph or so, and all of a sudden the message center read "redueced engine power" and when i mashed the pedal the was nothing. so i pulled over and checked out things that i could with no tools. the motor and everything was fine and it went into gear also, but not throttle at all! So i limped it home and once there i took of the air intake and checked out the TB.. when the truck was off i could push the flap open and it would spring close...but when i started it and tried to push on it i was like it was locked up? Well eventually i got it to break free and when i pushed the TB open the electronics and eveything seemed to work fine (TB sensor tell the injectors to pump more fuel for the large air mass)...but still not pedal! So last thing i could think of was disconnected the battery to reset everything! Boom it worked! pedal worked again! So my theory is, and chime in with any ideas, cuz i drive this truck a lot! I mean a lot it has 180,000+ with everything orgional so im thinking that the TB is starting to breakdown and i might need to replace it soon. THOUGHTS? IDEAS?
Thank you
Todd
BTW the truck is a 2004 GMC 2500 crew cab - 6.0L 4x4
