Okay this is the symptoms I have. The car is stuck in limp mode. The first time it happened it was stuck that way for like a week or so. The second time a few days. This time it's been this way for about a month. I can not hunt the problem. I've been told it was the throttle body but with the way it is now I'm not sure that's it. Right now it start with the ETC light on. There is a 2-3 second delay between turning the key and the car turning over. I'm starting to think it's an electrical problem. Any help would be appreciated. ALSO PLEASE DON'T HIJACK MY THREAD!! Thanks all

 

No help here I take it?

 

Have you check the IOD fuse in the PDC center. That's where the fuses are located. You also need to scan the modules for active or stored codes. Do you know the codes that vehicle is storing?

 

From what I've read so far the IOD fuse does!the same thing as disconnecting the battery, which I've done multiple time. There was 2 codes that came up. These were EVAP codes. Would cause little to no problem in drivability other than less miles per gallon. today I've found when cold starting it the ETC light comes on. I let it warm to about half of normal then turned it off then back on. The ETC light goes off but it stays in limp mode. Although I've lost 40 pounds sense is been stuck in limp mode it is very annoying not to have transportation when you're still paying on it. I'll try the IOD fuse. Can you tell me what number it is?

 

Do you know what the other code is? Maybe short runner valve?

 

They were both EVAP codes

 

Okay, Did you do a Electric Throttle Control relearn? (ETC) You need a scanner so you can perform the relearn.

 

Ok I performed a relearn procedure I found online that did nothing. I then connected my code reader and went through the diagnostics. This is what was read:
MIL - OFF
MISFIRE - READY
FUEL - READY
CCM - READY
CAT - NOT READY
HCM - N/A
EVAP - NOT READY
2AIR - N/A
A/C - N/A
O2S - NOT READY
HO2S - READY
EGR - NOT READY

I really hope this helps me in finding out this problem. Thank you all.

 

I guess this didn't help?

 

That all looks normal. The not ready means that it isn't up to normal operating temp when the the test was ran.
