Default MY CAR HAS ZERO POWER. IT WILL NOT MOVE
I am driving along and all of a suddent I lose all power. The car is not dead but I can push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car will not accelerate. If I take the car out of gear and let the RPMs drop back down to idle and then put the car back in gear I get my power back. *temporariliy* a minute later the car will just lose all power again. Getting home last night was a freaking nightmare. Any ideas?

LOL. It's a 5-speed CQ. My suspicion is the throttle position sensor?
