    Electronic throttle control system. A lot of times a code gets locked up in error. Take it to an Oreileys and have them verify the code and reset your ETC.

    The caberator is gummed up, add seafoam down the shute and add STP to the oil.

    Sucks gotten almost old.

    I would guess dead battery. I pulled into a FF last year, came back out after getting my stuff and nothing. The doors would unlock, and I would get some goofy things on my EVIC but it wouldn’t turn over. Went inside, bought a new battery and all was good.

    Put your multimeter on the battery, guessing it’s dead too.

    I put a cold air intake on my 06 and if it is super cold (<-20) that light has come on a few times and it will only idle and stall with gas until it warms up a couple min. A tech said that the original air box part I took off is designed to hold heat and prevent this. It has happened maybe 3 times in 13 years and just goes away when warm.

    Well I figured it out volt meter said low voltage on battery cable side sanded and buffed real good on terminals all good. I just had it worked on 2 days prior and I believe when he unhooked battery cable he didn’t have it tight. Thanks for any help guys
