I was driving the 04 6mt when all of a sudden check engine light comes on and the car stops accelerating, it didn't shut off, it just wouldn't go, as if it wasn't getting any gas. I pulled over and tried revving it up but it didn't do much so I shut off the car and started it back up. When I turned it back on it drove with no problem except that check engine light stood on and finally it shut off a day later. What could it have been?

 

I would take it to the dealer.
Did you do anything before you can think of, also have you installed anythink aftermarket that can or would cause your problem?

 

I'm looking at the service history of my car. This happened before I owned it. Problem: "Check engine light - vehicle lost power and would only idle slowly"
Solution: "Replaced accelerator pedal "***'y" (assembly?)".

 

just your basic mods exhuast ,k&n drop in with z-tube,headers thats about it.

 

Replace accelerator pedal (watchamecallit) assembly maybe?
Sounds like a dealer issue, what year is your car?

 

Do you know at how many miles this was done?

 

Mine is an 04 6MT sedan with 31,000 miles. This happened to me a few months after getting the car. Maybe 3000 miles on it. Towed to dealer. They fired it right up and kept it for two days driving it around. They could not find anything wrong, not even a code in the computer. Go figure. Never happened since, knock on wood.

 

Sounds like you have a limp home mode. Have you checked you MAF sensor?

 

I will check tonight when I get home.

 

It's an 03 sedan.

 

20 807 kilometers (12 928.87 miles).

Sorry, forgot to check last night.
