Early sign of sensor failure or alarm doing its job?

My car has a Clifford alarm and i keep the car with the battery off when not in use so iv put the battery on today and unlocked the car, started fine no problem backed it out on tick over then notice the throttle was unresponsive on the pedal. I lifted the hood to inspect the cable and all was well, moved the throttle by hand and still no change in RPM. I thought at first this could be the clifford stopping people from driving off with even if they manage to get the key? Turned the car off and on again this time i had throttle and iv driven it about 25 miles no problem

 

The alarms a basic avantguard nothing fancy and i cant seem to find any info online or in the manual about them stopping a car from revving so may this be the early sign of a sensor failure - possibly TPS?

 

anyone else had a similar experience?
