2001 is drive by wire, no cable. Read the code from the ob2. You did not say if it idles??

Yeah sorry that's my bad. I am just super confused and the vehicle is not in front of me so I am in even more trouble.
The car idles fine but physically pushing down the throttle doesn't make the rpm increase what so ever. I am stumped

are all of the sensors plugged in? IIRC there is one at the pedal and one by the intake manifold

I'll take a stab at it, and say the MAF went to hell on it. Try unplugging it and see what happens.

that is exactly the code i was getting, but mine came around and is working great now!

lucky me i guess, how hard was it to replace the potentiometer?
