Alright so I'm driving along normal and go to pull up to a toll. Push the clutch in and press the brake. All of a sudden the rpm rises to 2800 or so and holds till I let off the brake.

Did this 3 times before I went through the toll. Then my service engine light came on and the snow and gravel lights both stayed light. If I'm not moving and press the brake the rpm rises to about 2800.

Went to get the codes pulled and it threw 106 and 122. Said something about the manifold and the other was something about throttle positioning.

Basically I'm afriad to drive my car. Just wondering if anyone had similar issues.

 

get ur exact codes and myself or others can check for bulletins or more info for u

 

Looks like a Electrical problem. Check all connections by the throttle body, including hoses.

 

I know for a fact the 2 codes pulled were 106 and 122. If thats what your asking.

Also I had a shop check all the hoses and wires and they seemed to be where they should be. No boost leaks but I will give it a look see myself today.

Oh and the ACD fluid is right below min but that shouldn't make the car go all crazy like this right?

 

Alright a little update I guess you could call it. Went to my car today, popped the hood and pushed in all the connections by the throttle body. Got in the car and just turned the key as far as it would go without starting the car.

As like before the gravel and snow settings were both lit up. I turned the car off the started it. This time the Tarmac light was the only one on. I pushed the buttons to go through the different settings and now unlike yesterday I could set it to all 3 individually. I did notice the when I had the gravel mode slected the snow light would light up but be very dim and would flicker almost.

Also unlike yesterday when I press the brake the rpms don't rise anymore. Took it out for a quick test drive to confirm this.

Service engine soon light was still on and I havent reset the ecu yet. Taking it to the dealership tomorrow to have it checked out.

 

Happened again today and its raining in my area. Same **** as last time. This time though the dealership IS going to fix it for free. I'm going to take it there tomorrow.

Update: from where I left off on the last post...the dealership fixed it temporarily although the tech that worked on it wasn't there to tell me what they did.

 

if its always raining maybe its the fuse box thing under the foot rest thing or w/e they call it. it corrodes the connections in there alot

 

Took that all apart and checked the connections, no corroding anywhere. Must be somewhere else.

 

Could be, but he didnt say it was raining last time..

please let us know what the problem is when you find out

 

Will do and yeah its definitely been raining everytime this has happened too its obviously a wire getting a short somwhere.

 

the tps code usually means bad volatge going to the sensor. i am running with that code right now and have been for about a month. the 106 what exactly is the description of it? you say manifold something. find the exact sayin
