Hello again. I have the reduced power and check engine light like before. I have replaced the EGR valve, TPS sensors on engine and gas peddle, and a mechanic ran two new power leads to the TPS on the engine. The mechanic now thinks it might be the throttle body, if so where can i get one for a decent price? Looked on line and they say not for my vehicle. I could use a hand and thanks.

That usually means there is a problem with the throttle by wire system and its in limp fail safe mode.You need to have the computer scanned for codes and let me know the exact code numbers you have not code descriptions.

the manual if like a year or two to yours should be sufficient the 3.0 and 3.2 will have minor differences.

Thanks guys. I have the codes P1125, P1295, P1299, P1515, P1340, P1326, P1310. I think some are for the transmission for the reduced power and I had to drive it home. From this site and others I am reading it is either the TPS or the one on the gas peddle. I replaced the TPS about 3 years ago but that could still be the problem. Any help is welcome and thank you

Hey Bill,

Please clear the codes and take it for another short drive as soon as the light comes on run the codes. This will bring up one or two codes that will help us find the problem. With a list that long some codes are false and we don't want to start going down the wrong road to fix it.

Sorry it took so long. Cleared the codes and it finally gave me the reduced power and these are the codes P1125, P1295,@P1515. I know the P1515 is the reduced power. I looked up the other ones and I'm wondering if it is again the throttle position sensor. Again any help is appreciated. Thanks

If it has an electronic throttle its the one by the gas pedal, if not its the sensor by the throttle body.

Replaced the TPS by the peddle and so far it is working. My next question is what should the idle be. After its warm it is running around 775rpm. That is controlled through that sensor I just installed. You can adjust the peddle sensor. I think it should be around 6oorpm at warm idle.

Thanks for replies. Limped into shop they hooked up their Hi-tech "$20,000" machine now they tell me passenger side catalytic converter is shot and needs replacing? Thoughts? I was going to put in a universal since both sensors are in pipe above and below catalytic converter. Thoughts?

The reduce power light came on while driving in Kissimmee, Florida. Temperature here is not cold, and now the truck wont start. It has done this in the past but goes away and does not come back for a few moths. Having to pay a tow truck almost $200 to bring back home, because the truck will not start up this time. As if the battery was dead or something.
In the past when it has done this, the truck would not turn off completely, but when trying to hit the gas, no matter how much, it would not go faster than 5-10 miles. Tried to crank, but would not do anything. How can I fix the issue? Please help!

To the left of the A/T Oil Temp light it has the Reduced Speed light, it is on. The car will turn on and then turn off again. After that it won't turn back on. I have to wait at least an hour or two to try and turn on again. I am not able to take to scan, but will take all the help I can to fix myself.

Hi there,

This filter may be restricted, is it a cleanable unit, if so give it a clean or replace it with the standard air filter and see how this works, run a scan as well just to check for any fault codes, start here.
