This is partially true, if the transmission is in "limp" mode. The throttle is affected when the engine, or traction system goes into "limp". This is why I asked what exactly the car is doing. The term "limp mode" is often used to describe conditions other than actual "limp" mode.

If quan1 will give us a better description of the actual symptoms it'll be easier for us to help.
