Default Gas Pedal Didn't engage....?

Got home today from WI after this beautiful Labor Day weekend. I put in almost 900 miles by the time I got back home. I turned off my car and parked. An hour later, I came back to start it up. After putting the top down and pulling down the ebrake, I clutched into reverse and gased...but no response from the engine. I then proceeded to first gear and gas but same response. Same in nuetral. Then I turned it off and back on but this time the S worked. What could have been the problem!?

Is your car DBW? Do you run an aftermarket EMS that has any type of throttle % readings?

How would I inspect the throttle body? And I do not have a DBW in it; mine's completely stock.
