Just got done with the garage where they tell me my (new) TPS is having trouble communicating with the ECU and throwing my car into what they called a "limp" mode, cooking the (new) transmission. I plan to take it in to the dealer ASAP for the electrical problem.

Is there anything I should know?
Am I being jerked around?

When the car goes into limp mode, generally it will not rev above ~2500 RPMs. It is there so you don't kill the car, and that something it considers serious is wrong.

As far as that killing the tranny... I call BS on that one. The dealer should be able to figure it out. Do you have a check engine light on? Did you get the code?

I got a 1705 -- throttle position sensor. I've been having trouble accelerating for a while, had the TPS changed but the code won't go away.

Ruben

Has anyone cleared the code? It can take up to 100 starts (on/off key movements) to clear itself.

It's been cleared multiple times, both when I got the new TPS and when I had my transmisison work done.

did you get the memo on those tps reports?
