Loss of acceleration

I was driving on the freeway and then I heard two loud thumps and then I lost all acceleration and had to pull off to the shoulder. As I was pulling over the battery light and the traction control light came on. Once I was off I gave it some gas and the motor didn't rev up or anything. I looked under the hood but I didn't see anything. I turned it off and then back on and then it worked. Pretty weird not sure what is happening?

There is no check engine light. It has 60,000 miles on it. I just bought it so I am not that familiar with it but you are right it is the throttle control. I have had this Jeep for 1 month and have already had the heads changed and the thermostat changed.

^^^this^^^ It’s why I mentioned the check engine light. If it was bad enough to cut all the power and go into limp mode then it hopefully stored some codes. I see you’re in Utah. Shoot me a text. If you’re up near salt lake or the Provo area I have a great shop that my buddy owns. He’ll make sure you’re taken care of. PM me if you want my number.
