I'm new to this forum but i just had a similar problem and had to change the sensor on the throttle lever assembly which was about $250 but it could be the throttle position sensor in the front which is under a hundred < i changed this one first and was still having the same problem so i changed the sensor in the back of the Throttle body and, She fired up and was running fine..... Hope this helps
