Hi. My throttle feels heavy like something pulling my car back from accelerating but it is an intermittent problem and when I restart engine disappear for a while but comes again. There is not even a pending code stored in my ECU. I have changed my upstream o2 sensors but nothing changed. Checked everything before change o2 sensors. Include:
MAF
TPS
Fuel filter
Sspark plugs
Spark plug wires
Coil pack
Catalytic converter
Engine coolant temperature sensor
Intake air temperature sensor
Fuel injectors
I have no problem with cold start or reach high speeds. Idle is fine. It's make me crazy for about six months.

It sounds like you are setting the computer each time the malfunctions start, this can be a sign the PCM is bad and needs replacement. Here are instructions and diagrams to help. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
