Unhappy Electronic Throttle Control Issues_Please Help.

So, Engine was running fine. I took it in this morning to get the G40 recall flashed (something/brake control) and drove all day without issue until tonight. Out of nowhere, I couldn't get past idle and the ETC idiot light came on. I assume this is some kind of safe mode. I can't find anything obvious to cause the problem. I tryed resetting the computer and resetting the code. When I stomp the gas pedal with the key on, the light goes off. But when I start it, it runs smooth for a few seconds and then the light returns and the sputter/miss in the engine does too. Any thoughts? All are greatly appreciated.

read my post above... this may be the beginning for you.... this is how my started.

the throttle light and G40 recall service prolly are not related.
