Engine stalls/shuts down while driving. Check engine light came on. Alarm p2111 came up. Throttle actuator control system - stuck open. My vehicle stalled while turning left with oncoming traffic.

While stopped at red light and stop signs attempting to turn, the vehicle would rev itself corresponding with a rapid increase/decrease in rpm. Upon acceleration the car would stutter and the engine turned off while allowing me to enter the intersection resulting in very close calls. This has been recurring with more frequency.
