    A yellow wrench light warning comes on the dash. When that happens the vehicle loses all acceleration power.

    Twice now within two days, my wife or i have been driving along at 20-30 mph through the neighborhood and the vehicle has lost propulsion. I say this because the motor stays running, but doesn't accept input from the gas petal. Service wrench comes on, but vehicle diagnostics come back ok. Turn vehicle off, cranks up and drives fine. The interwebs says its a throttle body issue.
