Hello, I'm Danny
Please be sure to add oil to the engine! Unfortunately that code is not for low engine oil buy for the throttle actuator control system. The first thing I suggest is checking to see if there is any damage/deformation/cracks/leaking or obstructions between the air hose first between the throttle body and air hose first.I've attached a picture below of its location and description. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros. Feel free to ask any questions if needed.

I replace the electronic throttle control module. After replacing it I thought it would start right up. It does not start it turns over but does not start.I check to see if there were any additional codes my reader says no codes. What should I be looking for with no codes

It sounds like the new actuator will need to be programmed to the car which should cost about $130.00 at a shop. Was the old unit super dirty? If so I would clean it then reinstall to see what happens, please let me know.

I have a 2003 kia sedona with about 135,000 miles on it. A few weeks ago it started to hiccup or kinda jerk while driving but not often. Then one day it did this and shut off. It still had all power would turn over but not start. After about an hour it started right up. It did this a couple times and I changed the fuel pump. I drove it for 2 days and I was leaving a parking lot and it shut off-no warning it was running fine. Still had all power would turn over but not start. I was told throttle position sensor, or crank shaft sensor. I am a single mother of 3 and I can not not afford to change parts just to find whats wrong with it. Anyone know what it might be?

I would look more for the crank sensor. Instead of guessing, as it is expensive and in most cases wrong, have someone check it and pinpoint the failure

Is there oil all over the engine compartment. You will need to clean up. Did the CEL (check engine light) come on at any stage?

I have an 04 sedona with 88,000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer to have the timing belt replaced, it was due and starting to slip. Van overheated 2 days before, dealer replaced belt, leaking radiator, head and gasket, rear aux lines and wires and plugs. Dealer mentioned funny Maf sensor readings on the sales slip, but neglected to verbally tell us. Van would hesitate upon acceleration then engine cut out while driving(accelerating) 2 days after we got it back, check engine light is ON when we got it back idling rough. Engine dies lights and accessories work still. Van won't start, after waiting 5 min. It starts then dies shortly after. Replaced maf sensor engine light went out. Drove 70 miles fine. Again check engine light comes on as van dies while driving. Towed it home and there it sits. Dealer underquoted work by $1600, blamed the new guy and gave a $1000 discount on work, called 3 hours later with ironically $1000 new work to be done. I'm not stupid, you have to make up the discount elsewhere! Totally stumped. My research shows this has happened to many other, but haven't found many answers. Supposedly engine was tuned after repair, fuel trim calibrated, but still idling rough. Maf sensor just gets plugged in when replaced, no calibration needed, Am I right? What else should I check? My thoughts are fuel system or ecm. How do I check the fuel system? Could the dealership have screwed up the fuel trim, how do I check and fix it?

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? When this happens, have you checked for spark and fuel to the engine?

Let me know.

When I start my sedona sometimes it starts and sometimes it don't, when it does it idles really rough then stalls, then I have to crank it 15 times to get it to run again.I put it on the computer and it says camshaft sensor A ank 1 and ignition coil primary and secondary malfunction, does this sound right or could it be a bad pcv valve.

Yes it sounds right. Chances are the cam sensor is causing the other code. Have you tried to replace it?

Do I need to clear the codes first before I try starting the van, or does that matter.

It sounds like a bad idle air control valve. Has the check engine light come on?
