Oh No Check Engine Light!

[thabigo]

Hey Guys, Just drove to the barber shop got a haircut. Got out of the barber shop, let the car warm up for a min. Then I got a check engine light, Scanned it with my dash hawk and read: P2119 (Throttle actuator control throttle body range/performance problem) I couldn't accelerate. Like I would almost have to floor it in order for it to rev, It was really weird!! Why would this happen?? I turned of the engine then turned it back on, Check Engine light was still on but i was able to drive home.

Thanks,

BigO

what hve you done to it recently, i had this code after i took after my intake mani

i never had this code, but i've had the same problem. my codes were a bit different. they had to do with the voltage at one of the throttle position sensors. apparently, i fried one. did you by chance hook up a map clamp?
are you phillyb v2.01?

t/b or ecm two possible causes.

You haven't by chance done the throttle body coolant bypass have you? Was it significantly below freezing outside when this happened?

its was kinda cold out side maybe like 25- 35 degrees but i didnt drive the car for a couple of days. It started up fine drove to the barber shop which was like .02 miles away got a haircut 30mins then got back in my car to drive home and thats when it happend....

Update- I did clear the code and it hasn't come back on now. I am running a Sb it that makes a difference.

Could be a fluke. I wouldn't worry unless it starts to pop up frequently.

Probably faulted due to low coolant temp (enough time for 1 drive cycle but never detected temp above 40F, sensor didn't reach op threshold). you should follow the 10 mile/10 minute rule for driving. Don't worry about it if it doesn't come back.
