When that light comes on I cannot drive it, it keeps running but you give it gas you can press on pedal, but still cannot go anywhere.

You have to start by getting the codes out of the computer I need the exact code numbers not code descriptions? I know you cannot drive it, but there is no way around it, that is our starting point. Sounds like a bad throttle body and throttle body harness connector. But wont know for sure until I know the codes. You can buy a cheap pocket code reader to get the codes.

Hi Tina,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article that features 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. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.
