Wicked's car is down...... Troubleshooting assistance needed
Well, I get in the car to head to work yesterday and get greeted with a CEL. Usually never an issue as I can just check it when I get home. I live 5 min from my employer. Not the case this time. A block from home I get "ENG PWR REDUCED" and limp it back home.
Checked the codes finally today after working a double shift yesterday and received these:
[PCM] P2134 - Throttle/Pedal Position Seneor/Switch A/B Voltage Correlation
[PCM] P2101 - Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Range/Performance
[PCM] P1681 - Driver 5 Line 1
Now there was never a Driver 5 made for the PalyStation systems so it's not a gaming related issue...
My assumption is throttle body related. Either the plug is corroded/damaged somehow, throttle body is toast, or an electrical problem. Praying it's not a gremlin.
Anyone combated these codes before? I have to head out for errands and my roommates birthday today or I'd go play under the hood. Car has been fine for a year and 26 days (headgasket last May). Go figure this happens a couple days after my birthday last Tuesday

My car did that exactly, i replaced the TB and solved the issue..
FWIW once the car warmed up i could clear the codes with HPT and drive on..
Also, if you remember my ghetto ground speaker wire mod on my throttle body..... that's why it was there
