EML light !?!

So I haven't been driving as much as I used to...maybe every 4 days or so. Car always starts no problem.

Last weds, driving to work, car was warmed up but power randomly cut out, traction control and 'EML' lights came on, and revs just bounced up and down. Bouncing up and down as in only from idle to 1500ish revs, but constant. Stopped the car, started, it had cleared, off I went.

Left headlights on the other day for about 30 minutes, battery died. Didn't bother jumping it, and the next afternoon it started ok...a little sluggish but fired up and drove the 3 mile journey. Coming back home later on, same issue of EML etc. stopped, started, cleared, fine.

The next morning (yesterday), i was hooning it and at max RPM it happened again. Stopped, started, cleared, gone. I am also 99% sure the throttle stuck open for a split second a couple of times in yesterday's journey after the EML issue

Haven't driven it today yet.

Any help much appreciated :( can't get it code read until late next week!
 
Dude I have this same issue (minus the headlights and the issue clearing so easily). My local dealership is at a complete loss.

They thought it might have been related to a broken throttle potentiometer, which they replaced, which changed nothing. Still scratching my head.
 
my thoughts were that the battery is dead?

I don't have a receipt to say its had a new battery, so could be the original. I thought that seeing as the battery is showing signs of deterioration, it cant power the car at 6-7K revs? im still waiting for my mechanic to get back from holiday so I can get it code read.
