Hello, I am Danny,

Just a quick question first. What sensors are you looking for? I can provide a diagram but I am wondering if you are looking for something specific. The ECU is a computer that controls the engine. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

Unfortunately they do not list the sensor locations together, you will need to be specific.

Good evening, okay thanks. Can you send the ECU sensor that allows the car to accelerate? Because the car is just throttling but it is not revving out. Thanks in advance.

Hello again.
It sounds like you are having a problem with the APPS (Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor). The sensor is located above the gas pedal and its function is as a Potentiometer. It is a fly-by-wire system using an electrical connection instead of a throttle cable style linkage. Hope this helps and feel free to ask questions if needed. Thanks again for using 2CarPros.

This can also take place if the throttle bore is dirty, puts the car in limp mode. Disconnect the battery and follow this guide then clear the codes.

Please run down this guide and report back.

Cheers, Ken

Good morning, do you know how to test the APPS in order to know if it has really gone? Thank you

You can use a voltmeter to watch the ohms sweep, to tough part is watching for any "noise" the sensor might have which shuts down the PCM into limp mode. The APPS go out all the time. Did you service the throttle bore?
