So we had a bunch of issues with the throttle body connector, a replacement connector, some manifold repair and refacing and I have had 2 weeks of happy driving.
Then this morning ESR ESP and limp mode.

It remained after each clear. I then did a Throttle body recalibration and cleared the code…this seem to fix it.
Question is why…why did it pop up - does this mean my TB is on the way out? anyone had experience with these codes.
Many thanks
