when u lift throttle to slow down..then accel to move on, it just doesn't response at all...let it glide for awhile..response came back...hmm....
+1 on this issue. A new battery fixed it before, but not this time. Car went limp and check engine light went on, no code reader so dont know what it was. I just got good at unpluging it and going back to stock when it happens (can get dangerous on the side of the road).

Besides this intermittant dangerous problem, i love the controller.

would a throttle controller be worth it on a stock automatic?

indeed, I have no idea why its acting up. Glad it worked like a charm when i had no way of stopping (mountain single lane roads)

Do you know what the CEL code is?
