When I tried to move to the side of the road I couldn't. Ute had lost all power. Turned it off and back on and it was fine for around 20k's when I had to stop at another set of lights. Did the same thing turn off then back on and have not had an issue since until today. Twice the ETC light cam up in around 2k's. Has anyone else had this problem? And if so set me in the right direction. Ute is getting tuned next week so hoping to fix this prior. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned the throtle body and diconected the bat for 10min and it has been fine but has done what u mentioned again since , I am changing the tps in hope that's the problem , and the current one on mine is the rounded shape but im replacing it any way :beta: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just tried turning the key on but not starting the engine then pushing the foot down full and let if off the turn key off. I have not had the problem since but still have a idle issue some time. The ute is going in for a tune soon so I hope they may fine the problem.

It would intermittently limit RPM then shut down the engine. Mine was resolved by disconnecting the TB/TPS, spraying it with some WD40 and reconnecting. The problem hasn't come back for a couple of months now. I don't know if it was just a co-incidence but it hasn't come back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
