Okay so I got a 2003 gmc Yukon 83,000 miles on it - not this stared about a week ago my wife left to work but called to tell me that when she started the car it sounded like if the battery was dead but it still turned on and she was able to make it to work. She had the same problem the following day but she was always able to make it to work about 3 days ago she went to start the truck again and it went on but as she stepped on the gas it wasn't accelerating and the it read "slow engine speed down" but she wasn't going fast at all at the most 5mph so anyways we took the battery and had it checked and yup it wasn't good anymore so we got a new one and and it started up no problem what so ever we took it for a spin and it went off just like that. What can be the problem? It will start up but when I step on the gas it feels like if its going to go off. Thanks in advance!

The check engine light is it On or has flashed.

Might want to have this items check: Throttle actuator control module, Vehicle speed sensor, Manifold absolute pressure sensor/ Intake Air temperature sensor
