Is300 limp mode
Hey guys what’s up, new to the club, and I need some help .
It’s regarding “limp mode”
And how in the hell Can I fix it,
TPS replaced and calibrated
MAF replaced
Throttle body cleaned.
And attempted to relearn throttle body to no success.
Surely not an ECU issue? Right?
attempt at relearning TB lead to it working for small time then back to limp mode. Can anyone help?

Don't change plugs to fix a misfire unless you know for a fact the plugs are bad. It's not common to just foul a spark plug. P1121 has something to do with your throttle. I would make sure all the wires plugged into your throttle are in good condition.... ANYTHING wrong w/ the throttle will give you limp mode.

Look up my posts.. from fixed this issue
Check connectors and replace with spliced pigtails.... they crumple. Bmotorsports is a great & inexpensive resource.
most likely it’s your APPS.
look online I found a new part at parts geek for under $140 (DO NOT BUY OFF EBAY)
the only difficulty on replacing this is ... bending the clips and having a tiny socket ... if you get those two things it’s a breeze.
Replace your PCV hoses... cheap fix ... and they get hard and go bad.

Actually... looked up your codes...
cheap and easy...
Clean MAF or replace
change out PCV and hoses...
check connectors on plugs... I had one bust
connector on TPS and APPS and Also throttle motor
if your getting a code for the TPS and you replaced it.... it’s most likely the wiring OR you didn’t calibrate it correctly.
get yourself a BlueDriver Bluetooth reader... it’s cheap, does live checks and explains codes.
let me know if I can help more!
