Check Engine Light!
I'm getting this code
Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance
what do I have to do to fix this? do I have to change Maggie's throttle or what? please help
can anyone explain this code for me? I know it's the throttle but what is the problem? sensor?
I also saw "UNKNOWN" code.
Thanks in advance!

P0121
I have a post (P0121) later in this section. I also have this code show up also. I have a vortech supercharger and I took it on a trip of about 3600 miles with no problems. Then I was driving and accelerated hard down a ramp and in second gear about 5000 rpm the power just shut off. I shifted and everything was fine. The next time I took it for a trip the same thing happened. Last two times nothing. The check engine light never came on. My tuner asked me to take it to a dealer and see what codes came up. And P0121 came. I Called my tuner and he's checking it out. Have you suffered the same loss of power that I experienced. According to the code it says if prediced air flow and predicted map combined are outside a calibrated range for more than three seconds. ...under certain conditions the control module commands the engine OFF.

In HPTuners, under Engine Diagnostics "General" table, just set Min ECT to 492, and Max ECT to 493. Or any combination of tempatures within 1 degree of eachother i.e., Min ECT 131, Max ECT 132. Kind of like how one would set the Misfire Test in LS1's so that you didn't have to delete the code to prevent an SES light.

I'm not sure what he did. It only took a couple of minutes to complete. I imagine he reset some perameters. I started a thread called P0121 and Straightline tuning from IL gave me what he felt was a fix. If you review that thread it might solve the problem. If that is what Doug Rippie did, I'm not sure. I didn't ask. All I know is on the way home I got on whenever I could and didn't experience any problems.
