the car starts and steams very well but when you match the throttle the engine does fire or raise. i have changed the throttle sensor and it still continues.

Hello NNAEMEKA ANOZIE,

I am sending you a link that if you decide to conduct the scan yourself will be of help to you. The link features an article with written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
