Limp mode ! HELP !

DetroitP · 06-12-2023, 04:10 PM

OP, any updates to share on your issue from few years ago?

I am experiencing this same code U0107 on my vehicle which has 123k miles. The issue is it is inconsistent, so it comes & goes... I can go on for almost 30 miles without any issues (with 4-6 key cycles in between), then it returns. Anyone else experience this code?

Thanks

Did you guys ever figure out what the problem was. I’m having the same issues, but the other code is P1412 and P0456 evap leak.

It ended up being throttle bodies for me.... replaced with 2 OEM's and issue was resolved.

You meant throttle actuators?

Yes! picked up a pair of OEM's from FCP and it resolved my issue.

Hey all, haven't posted in a while. Still driving my 2009 coupe. Car went into limp mode last week while my wife was driving the car. Had to codes read today and it was bank 2 TBA. Had Bank 1 TBA replaced 5 years ago. Crazy thing, when I did the first one 5 years ago, the whole job, parts and labour was done for $1,400 by Rocco at RMP Motors here in Toronto. Now, the list price for the part is over $2,500CDN! That's just for one piece. I've got a guy that can get it for me for around $1,500 CDN but that's still more than I paid in 2021 for the whole job! Does anyone know why the price on these things has skyrocketed like this? I know everything is more expensive these days, but, it seems the price on the part has gone up 2.5x in 5 years.

Don't buy new TBAs. Instead buy refurbished units that are better than the OEM part due to upgraded internals.
