So Last monday all 3 of these came On, Car could not Exceed 40 km/h Went away 3-4 hours later But i took it to dealership today assuming it should be Powertrain if its Service Engine..

Lucky me But then i read The Throttle Body which is The Whole Thing was covered Under Power-train But the Individual part is not? or do I have my wires Crossed?

The throttle body and the accelerator pedal are two separate parts. The throttle body is an actuator that is considered an internal part of the engine which is what the powertrain warranty explicitly says are covered items. The accelerator pedal is a sensor that is not an internal part of the engine, and is therefore not covered.

I'm guessing there's labor involved, but Rock Auto has the AC Delco part for $70.70 Am. (For the 3.6 V6).
