Failsafe Twice In Two Days

2006 Lariat 4x4 with 85k miles

Ok so now this is day 2 with the same problem. It has gone into engine failsafe mode twice in two days. I have pulled the codes from my Edge and they are

P2104
P2112
P2111

I do have an aftermarket warranty. I may call tonight and see if any of these codes or problems are covered under it, but am just wondering is my **** gunna blow up or what I can maybe do at home tonight to fix this problem.

Should I re flash my PCM with the tow tune? Also if I do take it to Ford if my warranty covers it should re flash back to stock before going in?

Two things:

First: Clicky

Secondly, and oddly enough, this conclusion can be arrived at by following the above link; you have throttle body issues.

The throttle body probably just needs a good cleaning. Yes, always return to stock as the dealer may decide to reflash the PCM.

Called my warranty and they do cover it. I returned the PCM to stock. Now it's just a waiting game until it throws the codes again since I cleared them and set up an appointment w/ Ford. This 12.5 MPG isn't fun lemme tell ya.
