i have the msg Reduced Engine Power ...... what would this be ?



P2101 throttle acculator control motor circuit


spark plugs are good








.....

 

Check your spark plugs...

honestly, sometimes it just happends.. what were you doing and what conditions?

 

just driving

i'm re setting the battery now brb 15min

 

Mine was the tps sensor when the car said engine reduce power

 

Check the connection underneath the Throttle Body. If it is loose it can cause the Reduced Engine Power. Mine did that after I took the TB off and cleaned it...

 

whats tps plz

what i did was put the stock intake back on the car...i had fujita before and this happened 10min later


thanks

 

Check that connection. It is on the underside of your throttle body. Mine was loose and that is what caused the REP

 

ok reseated the battery and CEL is on sounds like WRX

i'm gonna look the sensor up now as well

thanks

 

it's probably a plug if it sounds like a wrx. Either that or you are one of the unlucky few....

 

looks to be ok plugged in

dip stick is in no oil

the car dosent smoke

any ideas?

 

Pull your plugs. If you don't know what you're looking for, take some pics and load em up.

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's no plug and it's def not #4. Mine made the same sound when my plug was loose. I tell you what though, was enough to make me a little worried.

 

i have no idea how to do that

i have to call my friend mechanic

 

Just kinda wiggle the connection around a little bit. It's a finicky plug for some reason. Turn your car on and see what happens...I am guessing your idle bounces up and down too, right?

 

why don't you think it's a plug? It fits the bill just fine.

 

yap like cammmed


the TB plug?

i have no idea i look at it and looks to be ok not lose

if i cont the car on the computer would it show what up ,,,my friend has it at home?

 

I was talking to g85 when i asked that question. I am 95% sure it's either a loose or fouled spark plug.

 

Ok, it's simple, you're gonna have to take the valve cover off. It's 4 star bit screws you have to take out. Then the plate comes right off. After that you have to undo the 4 connectors for the spark plus. You will need like a 10" extension for a ratchet to get to them though. I forgot what size they, 3/4 or 5/8 I think.

 

ok thanks guys i have to go and do it up

 

I think it's that plug because I had the same issue with mine like I stated. If that doesn't fix it, then it might be the plugs....I just went with personal experience. Tis all.

 

Mine did this. Check that connection under the TB. By checking the connection, I mean pull the TB from the car and check the pins inside the connector. Mine actually had 2 bent pins and the plug wasn't seating properly on them, causing the CEL and reduced power. I bent the pins back, CAREFULLY plugged the connector back in, and all was well. Then, if that doesn't work, clean the SCIP and MAF sensors with MAF cleaner, clear the code, and try again. I had a problem with my SCIP and MAF not being in sync due to dirt, and that too threw a CEL and reduced power under load. If that doesn't solve it then check the plugs. It's most likely not a plug but you never know, especially with the cold weather.

 

And yours was caused by the connection under the TB as well, right?? You have to like wiggle that thing a few times and make sure it's seated well. I don't know why it's so touchy.

That code makes sense with the tb connector. Although, I don't know the code numbers.

 

car fixed

today i put the stock intake system back and some paper was in the intake pipe which i did not know about and it got stuck in to the TB ....TB is cleaned and car runs like brand new

thank god

thanks ppl
