Limp Home Mode
Ive gotten the wrench on the dash 2 times in the past 3 days. I googled it and it says that there is something wrong with the electronic throttle control and it puts your truck into a limp home mode which cuts power. I cleared the code with my edge tuner and it stayed of for 2 days. Last night I got in my truck and started it. Threw it in reverse before letting the rpm settle down and I got the wrench again. Cleared the code and it hasnt come back. But I did remember that when I got the wrench the first time it was also when I put the truck in reverse and pulled out before letting the rpm settle down. Its been raining very hard here in PA for the past few days. I was wondering if the rain/humidity could be the cause for this. Or if its because Im attempting to take off before the engine settles.

This happened to my 07 HD edition. Replaced throttle body, still failed. 700$ later and a new computer made the problem go away.

I just cleaned my throttle body about 500 miles ago. I did notice inside that it appeared to have knicks in it. I dont know from what.. But that cant help the problem.
