Hi everyone,
Haven't posted for quite a while, but thought I'd share this experience since it has reached conclusion. The full story is in the reference given, but in essence, a faulty MAF on my car was causing a pending P0221 and disengaging the accelerator.
I know the MAF was fine earlier because at 84k miles (albeit 3 years ago) I had a STAR check on the car and nothing was reported on the MAF. I think a combination of a jump start and long cranks killed the MAF.
Amazing that a faulty MAF can cause this error too. Or maybe its the way the MAF gets killed - ie long cranks/ jump starting messes it up in this manner that its signals make the ECU disengage the throttle. Bizarre!
