| AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THEN VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULDN'T RESPOND TO ANY ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER COMPLETELY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT TOOK APPROX 7 SECONDS TO TURN OVER AND AFTER MAKING ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THERE WASN'T ANY CHANGE. I DID THIS TWO MORE TIMES AND ON THE THIRD TRY, THE VEHICLE RESPONDED TO PROMPTS FROM THE ACCELERATOR. BOTH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT WERE STILL LIT UP, BUT I DROVE THE CAR TO THE AUTOPORT AND WAS GIVEN THE TROUBLE CODE P2112 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR | |
