I have done some research and I replaced the throttle pedal first and it didn't fix anything. Then I replaced the throttle body and that hasn't fixed anything.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Do you remember the code number? If the car is in 'limp mode' then there is a fault code stored in the vehicles computer. Here is a tutorial showing how to check for diagnostic codes:

Once you perform this get back to us with the code information and we can then properly diagnose and give you advice and repair guides. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
