When I went to put it in third, that's when I realized that I had no power and that the Check Engine Light was on.
So I went back home. Let the car run outside for a good 15 minutes. Jumped back in and revved it. It was fine and I left. Of course it was the 26th, everything was closed. So I decided to leave for my 300km (190miles) trip.
Made it fine without a hitch. The next day, on my way to the dealership, the light came off. I still spoke to the service adviser about it and said maybe the throttle body froze on it. Told him I had an 06 and that the problem should have been corrected by now and said I wasn't the first one to go see him about it. Told me there was nothing to do unless the light came back on.
Of course that was in Northern Ontario, where the air is pretty dry at this time of year. Now I'm back in Moncton where humidity levels are almost always at 100% and hadn't had that problem again. I'm not worried, I've got the 100 000KM roadside assistance and really never leave the city.
