if you read the code yourself you have to select engine first then get the code it should start with a P it should be a P0121 P0122 or P0123 I need the code in this format to help.

This code p2126 which is a throttle pedal position sensor. This can be the accelerator pedal is binding or bad pcm. This usually means the the throttle actuator has gone out and needs replacement. Here is a guide that will help you get the job done.

I would try cleaning the throttle bore first, disconnect the battery.
