Default Re: Temporary power fade

Ok, new information. I started her up and as soon as I went to drive off the power dropped. My driveway also has a downhill stop to turn on the road, but now I don’t think the hill has anything to do with it…. because once I was able to back it up (while sitting still the throttle had zero effect, the car just idled. Then when I put it in gear it would allow slow increase to the revs, weird) the CEL was on, yahoo!

I have a Innova dongle scanner with the Bluetooth to an app. Here’s what it read:Critical:
P0122 Throttle position sensor low

Needs attention:

P2071 Engine control module-n/a

P20DC-n/a
Not sure what “needs attention” means.

These two P20XX codes are not on the list of codes in the stickies.

Then there was a recommendation to replace the throttle body but there wasn’t a specific code for it.

I would think this is pointing to the throttle position sensor on the accelerator pedal. Any other thoughts?
