Sometime back I had a problem when my EML and DSC light came on along with the SES light. I immediately lost power (on 66 at that!) and couldn't do anything more than 40.
At that time I had 5 codes on the system.
118,119,120,121 and 175.
The 175 was fuel mixture too lean - and that was because some of the clamps on 6 hoses that connect to the engine (I dont know names) were lose and were letting in extra air.
So once they were tightened and the codes reset the car was back to normal. The other codes were something to do with either
1. Throttle Actuator Sensor
2. Throttle Potentiometer
The car drove well for about 2 weeks - but last night as I was getting home the same thing happened again.
From what I was able to find out it seems like it could be a bad potentiometer.
Have any of you folks had this issue - would my assessment be correct?
Is this a DIYable fix?
Thanks!
