Brief Loss of Acceleration--Fluke Or Something Wrong!
This morning after dropping my wife off to work, I stopped at an intersection. When I went to pull onto the next road I had absolutely no acceleration. The truck was just moving at idle speed. The service engine light came on as well. So I pulled onto the shoulder and turned the engine off. A few minutes later, I started it back up and it started up rough but everything worked fine. No service engine light.
What the hell just happened? Should I be worried? It can't be the battery since I had it replaced a couple of months ago. Was it just a fluke?

No takers? Basically, I pressed on the gas and nothing happened. The truck just coasted as if I took my foot off of the brake. The service engine light came on. I then pulled off the side of the road, put on my blinkers and shut off the engine. When I started it back up, everything was fine.
Does it sound like an engine fluke or a possible transmission issue? Truck has 41k miles on it and I bought it new.

The wrench is the safe mode indicator. You have the option of taking to the dealership but they will charge you. You could would wait to see if there is another occurance unless you can spare the $$. I personally would have it looked at, I would not want a loss of power while pulling into traffic.
