You might disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the ECM and see if behaves any differently.

If that doesn't fix it you may have a bad throttle position sensor, TPI.
My ex truck, a 1994 F150 had no power or passing gear. The garage plugged it into their OBD reader and found a code for the TPI, it didn't set off the check engine light. It was a quick fix, took longer to have the part delivered than to install it.

battery lesson

After you watch him disconnect the battery, you will be able to do it yourself the next time you need to. What do you know about jumper cables?
