EML after hard acceleration-SOLVED

I have been getting 2 separate kinds of EML situations.

1) When engine braking the EML/traction/brake/abs lights come on. The vehicle has slow throttle response as if it were in a "fast" limp mode. This is always remedied by restarting the car.

2) During hard acceleration, when letting off the gas to change gears, it appears the throttle responds about a half second late, at which point the EML and other lights come on and I get zero throttle response. if I restart the car with my foot on the clutch it will rev all the way to redline and some times normal function will resume, sometimes it will just sit there and sputter.

I'm told there is a syncing process or procedure for the throttle/pedal assembly. Is this something I can do on my own? can anyone link me to it? It took me nearly 30mins to cross the street after lunch today because I couldn't drive back! Very frustrating.
