Default 98 sc400 with dead throttle

Hi,

I have a 1998 SC400 (stock) and had a strange thing happen the other day. When I started the car everything seemed fine until I pressed the throttle. They was no change in engine RPM. I shut off the car and restarted it and the throttle response came back. The check engine light was on and the Trac Off light flashed slowly, 1 second on, 1 second off.

This happened to me one before about a year ago. Any thoughts?

check the connection of the TPS sensor? and run the code of the check engine light.
