Default Two codes, not sure how to fix...

Like it says. The first one is: P0441 Evap Purge Flow Monitor- already tried a new gas cap... no difference

The second is:P2106 Throttle Actuator Ctrl Sys-Forced Limited Power

Any ideas what I need to track down to fix the 2106 code. It had thrown other codes in the past which required a new throttle body and cam position sensor. The engine light stayed off for a bit, but it's back on and I need to have it inspected soon.. Any ideas?

So I spent some time searching the forums, and I think I can find the problem related to the 0441 code, but the 2106 is still throwing me. I don't think they could be related but.... I dunno.

Have you reset the PCM and see if they come back?

Yeah....get yourself some vacuum hose and clamps to fit the outlets on the charcoal cannister near to your fuel tank underneath the truck.
Replace all "dry rotted" hose you find there. It's cheaper than buying the OEM hoses.
Your P0441 should be sorted after that.
Make sure it's strengthend vac hose as you don't want the walls to collapse by using normal hose.
The other code??? do what weed says and see if it comes back.

P2106 = ETC forced limit power (this sets anytime another ETC code is triggered)


This code can be set by a really dirty air filter, but I'm going on the assumption that it's already been looked at and is fine.
The most common reason (by far) is a very dirty throttle body / plate. Pop the resonator off the top of the engine and have a look down the throttle body, push it open and pay close attention to the area where it almost touches the bore.. clean this up very well (along with the edges of the throttle plate).
I've run across this 3 or 4 times and this has fixed every one of 'em.. A word of caution, the edge of the throttle blade is sharp, I mean razor sharp.. Just watch your fingers.
Have a peak, clean as necessary
