The mileage is 84k with service at all recommended intervals. I knew the previous owners and they took excellent care of the vehicle. The temp could be a key, the only time the car faulted during daytime running on the highway (about 80F outside temp). I drove it at night for a total of 3-4 hrs this weekend and nothing out of the ordinary happened. What I keep coming back to is the lack of a CEL. Would the MAF or fuel pump trigger a CEL with a fault like that? Are there any other conditions that would cause the engine to default to idle and remove throttle control?

Go Tigers!!
