So here's the story. I get outside this morning to start my car, and yes its cold... -25 C. I start my car and run inside to get ready while it warms up. I hop back outside and get in the car. Both the engine light and traction lights are on. The car is still stuck reved at 2800 rpm. I think uh oh....I go to hit the gas and rev it up, nothing. The needle doesn't move. I have zero response from the gas peddle. I go to drive away and still nothing. The car will move but only very slowly. So I turn off the car, reset my ECU, and set it to Performance mode with my COBB and everything is fixed. What happenend? Did my ECU freeze? Did Anti-Theft mode kick in? I just dont want to be in a hurry and have to reflash my ECU all the time. Thanks for the help.

I had something similar happen, concensus was a miscommunication with the AP and the ECU. Was your AP plugged in at this time? Let me find my post...

found it.

I'll take it as an aberation and move on hoping for the best. I also had thoughts that my recently installed Agency Power pulley was the culprit, but it checked out ok.
