Today I was driving around fine, parked to go into a store for about a half hour. When I started the car VDC SLIP and SES lights were on and the car was in limp mode. Turned it off for a few second and back on, just the SES light was on. From searching it seems most are having to replace the entire throttle body!! My warranty just ended in April, so I was wondering if I could just clean the throttle body or even just do the re-learning procedure would maybe fix the issue? Oh ya when I got the code read I cleared it with the reader but as soon as I started the car again it went into limp mode again. This time it took 3 times of me turning the car off and back on again to get it out of limp mode!!! Kinda annoying since my car only has 28k miles on it. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated My car is a 2005 coupe 6mt

 

You are gonna need a new throttle body as cleaning will not help.The throttle body is only about a $150 and is not hard to do.I am on my third throttle body i 88,000 miles.

 

I think i have that problem too. It happens once in a while but I first experienced it when I installed the transgo shift kit. I had no idea it had to do with the throttle body.

 

I'm guessing the $150 is for a re-man throttle body? I have seen them for about 550 but if I can get one for 150 that would be great!! Is it a must to do the re-learn procedure when I replace the TB?

 

update on this old thread? my g went into limp mode yesterday and came up with this code. it took a few times of clearing though for it to come out of limp mode and now i have not had an issue for about 50 miles or so..the car just came out of storage
