I bought my car at an auction a few months back. I ran it out of gas on accident, then got the check engine light. My 2nd fuel injector had gone out (not sure if it had to do with running out of gas) While bringing back from the shop, my cars red throttle light started flashing (never happened before) Called the shop and they said it is a totally different problem, nothing to do with the replaced fuel injector.
Also, no loss of power and no check engine light comes on. Lastly, the yellow light that is a car with wiggly lines (skid light?) came on at the same time, for the first time.
I can't afford to bring it back in, another $150 just to diagnosis. Can anyone shed light if it might be correlated and/or a quick fix. I must include, I am recently divorced women, and have never worked on a car. But any quick fixes would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

 

The two are likely related. The lightning bolt feller is your throttle-by-wire system. (there is no cable going from the gas pedal, to the throttle body.) The other one is traction control, and it's probably annoyed the throttle-by-wire system is freaking out.

 

Thank you for the reply Any thoughts for a quick and easy fix?

 

Likely gonna need a scanner, and look at data. See if the signal the PCM is getting from the pedal position sensor, bears much relation to how hard you are stepping on the gas, and if the signal is consistent.
