Hey guys,

I have an 05 coupe with roughly 120k miles. This Monday night I was driving in what passes for extreme cold here in the south. (I may or may not have been drowning my sorrows after the championship game) Anyways car was working fine, until I let it sit while I ate. When I came back it went into limp mode. I had no idea what was going on at the time so after a few minutes I just restarted the car. Now it drives fine (I've driven about 45 miles) but the SES light is on.

I took it to autozone but for some unknown reason didn't write down the codes. I know it was showing the throttle position one, but I believe there were two others. I'm hoping the cold weather was just giving it some issues and everything is okay now but I don't want to risk damaging the car more. Basically what I need to know is am I okay to drive around for a few days or do I need to go right back to autozone and get this figured out asap?

Thanks for any help

 

Update:

The light went off all on its own tonight. I'm beginning to think the super cold weather really was giving it problems.

 

Your car is getting lot at 8 years, check the throttle positioning sensor.
