V8V Throttle body

[Gmw76]

I have read various posts on this but some explanation for a relative newbie please. Last week my car apparently lost all power for just a split second on acceleration. It was extremely quick and came back to full power straight away. I don't thinks it was a misfire on one cylinder as the result was more power loss even though overwith in a blink. Does this sound like the oily throttle body and butterfly valve?

I know this may sound obvious but can I assume the throttle on the car is 'remote' from the pedal. I.e. no cable? As if there was a cable and spring I would have thought cable pull would overcome any sticky substance.

If remote. What is the mechanism which cannot just pull past and oily residue. Is it some form of servo with little power or a more finely balanced affair.

Sorry for so many questions but it was a bit heart stopping so looking for help on what it was and if you guys think it may be throttle body, then secondly looking to understand the failure mode.

Thanks

Thanks so far guys.
V8V 2008 coupe. Tank was full, but filled the day before. I had just taken left hand 90 deg bend on a junction so 15-20mph 2nd gear and it was on the acceleration up from that. Recently had service inc 2 new o2 sensors. Any clues there?
Weather was dry and quite warm but 8am in the morning so say 19 deg

Wow

Thanks for that. Yep full tank just having done a left turn. My car is still under dealer warranty. I guess I could tolerate if I new it didn't happen on less than full tank. Are we aware of many people having this issue diagnosed and addressed?
