Wrench Light
 
Going down the road the other day and wrench light came on and i had no throttle control what so ever. Coasted off to side of the road cut it off and then back on and everything was fine. Anyone have any ideas?

I had a very similar thing happen to me this morning. The only difference, is that I had to restart it twice before it would rev. Engine stalled, started it and it would not go past idle regardless of throttle pedal position.

maybe the throttlebody got hot:confused: did you check for any codes?

Same exact thing happened to me.Felt the tranny do a quick "funny" shift to look down and see the wrench light on.Engine stayed about 900 RPM no matter where the pedal was.I coasted for a few hundred feet so i can pull down a side road and find a safe enough spot incase i had to leave the truck.I checked all other guages and they all seemed normal then i shut it off, waited about 20 seconds and started it back up and all was fine.I have the edge on level 3 but never blamed it.I had it there without touching it since April. I also have just under 30k..Dont know what the cause was but truck has been fine otherwise..

It's a safe mode. Something triggered it. Pinging, fuel pressure, numerous things. More details required.

Has happened to me on/off for last few months. With Chicago winter, I decided to get it checked at the dealer. Happened 5x on my 20 minute drive in. Codes I got were:

P0121 - TP Sensor Ckt
P2104 - Throttle Actuator Frcd Idle
P2111 - Throttle Actuator Frcd Open
P2112 - Throttle Actuator Frcd Closed

I'll update when I find out.

Got a quote from the dealer - $420 for a new throttle body installed + $100 diag fee. They needed 2.5 hrs to get the part and the another hr to install.

When I called another local dealer for a quote (and availibility), they asked what air filter I had. When I told them K&N, he recommended using the stock paper till March - since I was probably freezing the components or shooting ice/snow on my MAF sensor.

I just dropped the paper one in and will post any updates.
