recently i had a control arm bushing changed on the passenger side (front) and the mechanic had to blow torch the bolt off because it was seized, (canada) is there any sensor near that place that could have melted since the sway bar bushing was completelty melted and he had to replace the bushing. or it this related to timing?

im getting really sick of my cobalt ive had nothing but problems week after week for years.

 

You could scan for code(s).

Some codes trigger the engine disabled and power reduced (limp mode) and wont come out of it until they are cleared.

 

ok i will scan tomorow when i get back from work. and post codes

 

Yea the same thing happened to me today..changed my struts got that engine message. Cleared code and it was fine. Was a throttle code

 

p0122 powertrain Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" Circuit Low
p0140 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected
p0223 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "B" Circuit High
p2135 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch "A" / "B" Voltage Correlation
p2101 Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Range/Performance

P1681


Type PowerTrain
Status Stored
ECU 10
Description Manufacturer Defined


those are the codes, recently i cleaned my throttleboddy what would i have done wrong?

 

Did you plug it back in correctly?

 

yeah it was like 2 months ago..

 

so is this pedal or throttle body related what do you guys think?

 

i found that the throttlebody sensor plug was unclipped. trying to push it in dosent seem to clip at all. i must have broken the clip when i pulled it out.
