Hi there,

This is a difficult code to check without the assistance of a code reader. It indicates an issue with the accelorator pedal position sensor or the throttle body. Basically you have no acceleration because the throttle isn't responding or is in fail safe. Since all of your connections seem to be fine, then you are in a position to either have a shop with a scan tool diagnose the issue or replace the pedal position sensor and see if that helps.Once properly diagnosed then you could perform the repair yourself to save some money.
