Again, when it rains it pours!!...now bad throttle switch?

[L DC]

Thank you for your replies again.

To Huw,

No it was not an intermittent problem. It happened
once last Thursday and found that by activating the
WOT ignition switch, the sputtering and inability to
accelerate stopped.

Now, a day prior to this, the hall sender in the dizzy
went south. Prior to that, it was hard to accelerate,
literally. The gas pedal was hard and it took for ever
for the car to get it going on 4th and 5th; all this
following a clutch job that took about 5 months to
complete due to my job. It took about 545 miles of
driving and pouring fuel injection cleaner and
cleaning the dizzy cap and rotor then problem went
away.

Prior to the last and recent incident, the car was
running fine.

As for codes, I don't think these can be pulled from a
JT engine code; at least not in the conventional way
as in the 5KTQ.

I drove home from work last night and back to work
this afternoon with no incident.

Could it have been bad fuel or a clog in the system
that was improved by the activation of the WOT switch?
