Car stuck in limp mode
Car stuck in limp mode
So I was going to work this morning and I did a quick 3rd gear pull and my car went into Limp mode in the middle of the pull. (08 SS/TC) my mods are hahn cool ram intake, dejon hot side charge pipe with HKS BOV (no flutter) and MAF relocated to hot side, with stock recirculation valve blocked off with TTR plate. 3" mpx catless downpipe and mpx 3" catback. Tuned with Trifecta 22psi tune. I have had the tune for about 2 months and no problems so I don't think its that. The car has no power, wont boost and maxes out at 65mph, o and it runs like sh*^ idle sounds like it has a cam or running on 2 cyl. my codes are P0089, P2176, P2101, and P2100, and the service esc, service traction and engine power reduced display comes up. I have tried reseting the codes but it doesn't help (come back instantly). I have tried pulling the ecm/pcm fuse and turning the car to on until it stops dinging, and then replacing the fuse and still the same thing when it starts. O and yes I have tried disconnecting the battery too for more than an hour and still didn't clear. just wondering if anyone has any ideas, I don't really want to take it to the dealer so help would be great, thanks!

Sensor for electronic Throttle could be bad. Also, could have a low battery, as one post indicates anyway. P2101 also relates to this problem. So could P2176 (throttle position).
Needs Advise for CEL code P2102 - NASIOC
The P0089 relates to fuel pressure, but that also could tie in with the throttle feeback problem.
Well I gave up and took it to the dealer. Turns out the motor in the throttle body was shorted out, so they replaced the throttle body and its all good now. O and the best part is they didn't void my warranty.
