Default no throttle ...on 2008 ram

Morning
I been experiencing extra rpm when I start my truck .. Then it made a strange noise then it wouldn't go no matter how you pump the gas pedal ..the throttle indicated light was flashing and my oil gauge was going crazy.. Did my throttle body cause this... Now my coolant sensor been leaking could this have anything to do with this problem??

I don't know where you live, but the throttle plate can get iced up and cause that. The oil pressure sensors have been known to short one of the 5v REFERENCE CKTS and cause throttle body issues as well. Coolant sensor is also on the 5V ckt. It COULD be the root cause.


I've also seen a few Rams wick water through the wiring harness up into the C-2 connector at the PCM and corrode the terminals. I recently had one in that had a corroded CTS and a PCM.
