Default Error P0161

Hello community

how can it be that the engine just goes out in operation? We drove about 40 kmh with an automatic Corvette 2005.
I had to brake to restart, driving behind me Fahzeuge would have almost rear-ended me, engine ran in Reduced engine power and ASR Reaparieren error P0161 lambda sensor ???

I have ordered from Rockauto and will be installed next week, hope so that the error is gone. I will report.

Greetings from Germany

That code shouldn't cause any power issues,just a check engine light.

Es wäre schön, wenn das so wäre, aber was für mich keinen Sinn ergibt ist, dass der Motor ausgeht und das auf einer Straße, wo man nicht rechts, sondern mitten auf der Straße anhalten kann. Ich habe damit den ganzen Verkehr aufgehalten. Hier stimmt etwas nicht und ich möchte dahinter stehen.

Update,

Corvette was in the shop and the ( HO2S) 2, bank 2 heater control - circuit malfunction was replaced.

I then made the day a test drive and became happier and happier because the car drove without giving me problems.

We only ever drive in the summer and wanted to make one last drive before winter comes.
I'm then the next day in the garage, start the Corvette and when I put on "R" I drove slowly out of the garage suddenly went back on the lamp, ASR repair. What a nightmare ! Turned off the car and restarted the error was gone. How dared nevertheless an exit and drove into a small port city. When we arrived there and were in a 30 km/h zone, the Corvette just went out and I had to brake to restart. After the restart the car jerked very much and we dragged ourselves into a side street. The engine speed went up and down.
I will go to the ECM and see if it is a loose plug, because that is my guess that something is wrong here somewhere.
Maybe someone here had such a problem and can offer me a hilfe.ich would be grateful for any tip.
I read the error on the spot and it was again the suspicious P0161 and P2135 what do you say ?

It should be the case because P0161 is just an O2 sensor . If it stopped you in the middle of the road there is another issue.

I realized that too but where do I start???

I have driven Porsche or Mercedes and even a Corvette C5, there were never any problems but this car is beyond my understanding.

P2135 is a throttle position issue. Do you have an aftermarket throttle controller installed?

Here is a google search result.

I don't know, it's a Europa Corvette. Where we bought the car there were never any problems. After an accident in the workshop, the car was reaparated elsewhere. After this repair we have these problems. The workshop manager told me to borrow another throttle body to see if it was the problem.

Who builds out his his throttle body??? Just to lend them to me? So a nonsense.

The car is a pain in the ***.
