ok so out of no where my car started to have idling issuse it would idle at normal then jump up to 1500 then back to normal. then the other day it threw the ses light amd went in to limp mode. I pulled the app sensor and cleaned it with the battery disconnected and left it discod for about 10 min. hooked battery back up and the app sensor and still in limp mode. I am all stock except sri. any ideas or anything.. any feed back would be great.. tia

 

did the check engine light clear? is it still in limp mode?

can't be much help if we don't know the code...borrow a code reader and post here with the code(s)

 

the ses light is still on and still stuck in limp mode. dint know any one with a code reader. and the autozone here won't let u leave the parking lot.

 

the last code it threw was a open throttle switch

 

did you clean your throttle body...the APPS and TPS have to be in sync or shyt hits the fan. maybe the throttle plate is sticking?

 

I did clean the tb I didn't notice if the plate was sticking or not. what's good way to cure that

 

ok ran the the code.. got a 2127 tps generic circut low in put. now is that the same as the app sensor. if not where is it located.

 

Try unplugging the APPS Sensor and plugging it back in. Do this while the car is off. This has helped me temporally fix my TPS problem before I replaced the sensor.

The APPS sensor is right behind the passenger side head light, and your throttle cable is attached to it.

 

TPS is inside your throttle body. but that code is infact the APPS behind the headlight.

But make sure your battery terminals are good and tight, i had a APPS code after i hit a slight bump in the road, lol, went into limp mode at 120km/h.

 

I found the sensor disconnected it qnd the battery and cleaned the sensor and still in limp mode. thinking the sensor is toast. time to put her in the garage and tear her down and do some mods since the timing belt is due.

 

the TPS is bad on these cars does not happen often and I think there was a recall on it so check with your dealer.

Unplug the ecu from under the dash all 5 connectors and plug back in after 30secs that should clear the codes. If it goes back into limp then the sensor has crapped the bed.

 

any pics of the ecu so I can be sure on what I am unplugging

 

this is the only pic I have , it's the only black box behind the glove box with 50 wires coming out

 

ok pulled the ecu and it reset the ses light. I know this is a temp fix. now if its the tps what throttle body can I switch to ......

 

ok so unplugged and it came back time to get the sensor
