You have a check engine light. This is very likely something to do with your drive by wire throttle body and/or the electrical connectors on it.

Address the check engine light issue. Post the code here if you can get it pulled. Check the connectors using visual inspection. Mine were cracked and making bad contact on the DBW throttle.
