Hi all, I've got a VE SV6 at work in limp mode. I've scanned it and it has come up with a code for throttle angle position sensor. i know these have a problem with throttle bodies, so installed another secondhand one that was on a running car, along with a new pedal assembly, did a relearn with a bosch scan tool and tried it. Only lasted about 30kms before doing it again.has anyone out there in T/M land come across this fault before!

Reset the code, reset the computer and see what comes up second time around, if at all.
Quite a number of cars throw codes that do not appear again for a while, but are enough to make you throw money at the diagnostic results when they do not change anything.
I've had crank angle sensor codes on my car a number of times when the crank angle sensor was not the problem at all.
What are the symptoms whilst driving apart from the light.if any!

Tried doing a reset, comes back almost immediately. Will only run in limp home mode, really flat.

So is it a trans problem or motor problem.
Sometimes each can affect the other.

do a forum search like what else is on the system. like mercedes from 2k are a nightmare where the codes run like a railway all to the same station and when a switch like the button air to used insidecabin or outsidecabin is pressed the thing went in to limp mode .pressed it again and it went like a rocket as if nothing was wrong. I could immagin that GM run a similar complex system.

Seems to me that alot of cars have been overloaded with technology that instead of enhancing the vehicle or appliance the technology becomes the ghost in the machine.simplicity has been discarded from design and its got to the stage where even seasoned service persons struggle to rectify what are reported as faults yet these could in fact be software or hardware malfunctions.its technology gone mad.its in washing machines.toaster cars.tvs .and its overkill.rom.ram.chips.shees- h.

unfortunately if you want clever vehicles, they require clever electronics to go with them

I want a mid engine car with 500 horsepower and a CD player.
I don't care about emissions, economy, air bags or digital displays.
All that shit is worthless compared to a sub 12 second quarter mile.

I'd like a car I can maintain myself - something simple. I do most of the work on my wonderful Mazda 626 but that's getting real old. My latest car is so complicated that 3 mechanics can't fix it. Some random electrical fault, probably a short in the wiring. The wiring loom is a nightmare.
I'd just like something reliable and safe (but interesting). I don't care about high performance, I've been through that.

I thought all commodores were permanently in limp mode.
