Description of the problem	Engine idle spiked and dropped in rush hour stop and go traffic until the truck eventually stalled. I placed the truck in park and tried restarting. The "electronic throttle control" light illuminated in the dash. I turned the truck off and tried restarting. The starter turned over but the truck acted as if an element needed for combustion was missing. I turned my hazards on--as traffic was clearing around me. I tried starting the truck a dozen times before calling 911 (since i was in the middle of an interstate hwy). I texted a friend who said try starting with the accelerator pedal fully depressed--the truck started, but then went right back to spiking idle and the engine died again. At this time traffic was speeding by so fast on both sides that i could not exit the vehicle. State patrol came to push me to the shoulder. Truck started again on the shoulder after several attempts and i managed to move it about 50 feet before it died again. Had truck towed to nearest dealership where they informed me it may take up to 2 weeks before they can diagnose my truck. Still under warranty. Second time this has happened with this vehicle in 6 weeks. First time dealership drove truck 84 miles and returned it with a note saying they could not replicate the problem.
