How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

So this is still ongoing. It is definitely a sensor of some sort as cycling the car off/on will reset the issue and make the car operate like normal. I just received a new TPS in the mail and will install it soon. Should I be looking at the idle air control valve as well?
Most recent, it happened this morning on my way to work. Was running fine until on the highway for some time. Fuel cut on decel suddenly didn't want to work. I shut the car off rolling at 60mph and restarted. Started to operate like normal again.
wut do?

wut do?TPS was replaced and reset ODB codes Friday afternoon after work. So far zero issues. Might be placebo effect but the throttle feels a bit more responsive. Car always goes in to overrun now. It's kinda nice having a normal car for this long
But of course my innovate wb sensor is going out, gets stuck on 'HTR' and never comes online. 
Win some, lose some.

If any of you are shopping for a new oscilloscope....

Yeah. Lol that was a while ago.
honestly not sure what is supposed to be released before June 6th. But it's pretty awesome. Obviously I'm proud of it. It's got 2 years of my life shoved into it lol.

I do hope that video trigger was excluded from the design. NTSC was a pox on humanity, and very much needs to be erased from history. Wanna know why, even in the 4k era, we're still timing at 59.94 Hz instead of 60? Because some ******* at RCA made a lazy decision in 1953, and that choice has haunted us all ever since.
We still use a lot of analog blackburst for timing reference (seriously, there are 70s vintage Grassy Valley DAs still pumping it around the plant- those ******* refuse to die), but I have managed to completely extinguish analog composite video from on-air use at WPIX, WGN. We still have a lot of NTSC monitors left in service on older SD gear here, but I'm gradually replacing them with SDI monitors in all applications except for the two-dozen or so genuinely analog VTRs that we keep in service for archival use. And, to be honest, the few engineers who still know how to maintain that stuff also still prefer to use their 20-30 year old analog HP / Tek scopes while doing it, despite the fact that I have a shiny new Agilent 4-channel scope w/ 16 channel DSA sitting on the shelf gathering dust.
Video people are not your target market. Not anymore. My guys wouldn't know an FPGA from an SDR.
All that having been said, I'm still insanely jelly.

We have a lot of features that we just hang on to for the one person that still uses them. Thankfully once something has been done the amount of effort to do it again is a lot less.
The amount of old serial buses we support is stupid. I found a few bugs in old products that had existed for 10 years. And nobody had used them haha.

(Spoken from the perspective of someone who has had to make the painful choice to deprecate archaic but familiar standards in past product designs.)
