The Throttle body should not go completely closed. The engine needs to get some air to start and idle.
It almost sounds like a low voltage issue. Something could be dragging your voltage down.
good info there thanks. I am leaning towards the gas pedal sensor based on what Ahmed said and what I have found with my searches. The question remains, assuming it will be the pedal sensor, would it have failed anyway. The VTC does directly connect into it. does a constant higher voltage short out the sensor, should not, but if defective to start perhaps it speeds up the process.
