It wasn't just a loose wire on mine, They replaced the whole damn throttle body, it was throwing 2 seperate codes, took 2 days to get my car back

dont worry nothing big. this happened to me only when i was full throttle till about 115 on an empty road when it happened to me. It is the THROTTLE SENSOR becoming loose from any bumps or under hard accleration. the dealership fixed it right away for me. hell you might be able to do it yourself if you find the throttle sensor and secure it tightly with some electrical tape
