This is the code I got when I checked it. We have replaced the whole throttle body including the throttle position sensor, replaced the accelerator sensor. All the fuses are fine, it starts and drives but it’s only in limp mode. We went the ECM to be repaired but they say there is nothing wrong with it. What else can I try before I end up taking it to a mechanic?

That part is brand new? That’s the part we replaced? So should it still need cleaned?

I think I fixed it! The etcs fuse was blown. My brother said he checked it but I don’t think he did, lmao. Gotta do things yourself! Thank you for all your help! I’m on here asking questions all the time, lol.
