Car died last night while driving.. Help!
I was driving about 80km/hr and all of a sudden lost all pedal control...(gas pedal does nothing!) Pull over, and Idle is a little rough... but still gas pedal does nothing.
These are the codes that came up:
17580 P1172 Throttle Actuation Potentiometer Sign.2 Signal too Low
17952 P1544 Throttle Actuation Potentiometer Signal too High
17987 P1579 Idle Speed Contr.Throttle Pos. Adaptation not started
Help! Car is parked on a side street.. and I'm not sure where to start..

wtf...never heard of this...
start at the throttle body id guess...
make sure all the wiring is connected. if it is, pull the throttle body boot off and make sure everything looks ok... then do a throttle body alignment (flip the key in the on position - with the car off- for 3 minutes).
maybe your the actuator for the butterfly died? weird...

sounds like G79 / G185 sensors - maybe these will help
Drive-by-wire accelerator pedal assembly may be failing or failed.
