Chomp Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Hey, hope this is in the right place but I've been having this plaguing issue with the ETC (electronic throttle control) on my Journey. I've had the throttle body replaced entirely at a dodge dealership, and even went as far as getting new key FOBs. For some reason, no matter what I seem to do the car continually goes into "limp mode" within a few months of getting it repaired meaning that I can start the vehicle but I cannot accelerate past a slow idle. I've seen some info on the web regarding others having a similar problem but I'm at my wits end. Not sure whether to just sell the car at this point (151k miles), get a second opinion from a new mechanic, or to attempt to run the codes myself. Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 If you have the codes fill us in. Could be any number of guesses Summer Solstice, 2late4u and jkeaton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 always thought if it went into limp mode it was more of a trans problem at least in my old caravan that is what happened when a sensor in the trans went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
