This morning while on my way to work my car was driving fine when I noticed my SRS light flash in the dash, I thought I was just seeing things and my HUD and DIC went dark as well. The ABS light lit up in the dash and stayed but nothing happened on the DIC. I came to a red light, waited for it to turn green and I noticed I had no acceleration when I pressed the gas. It took a while to pick up speed, even the temp started to go up some but not to the red. Once I got up to speed the temp went back to normal. I finally noticed that all of this happens when I press the gas pedal and comes back when I release. The HUD resets back to zero as it does when it first comes on. It didn't affect my headlights, or temp control or CD Player. I took it back home and checked all of the fluids, everything was good. I scanned my car and found these two codes, P0441 and P1655. My belts are still there, no leak from the water pump, no oil or tranny fluid leak. Anyone ever encounter this. My car has 237,000 plus miles on it now. Drove it yesterday, everything was working fine. Looking for thoughts before it goes to the stealership.

A quick google search gave me these results:

these were both listed as the solutions that fixed the codes...

I take no responsibility for this just providing information laugh

make SURE both battery cables are clean, corroded battery cables will cause funny problems, Also possible ignition switch issues.

take the battery cables off the battery, if you see corrosion, clean it off and re-install.

Ignition switches take abuse from extra keys on the key chain.

just a few suggestions.

I suggest those due to the problem being there 1 time, and then fine the next.
