Hi i am new to the forum and hoping to learn a lot more soon :)

car sometimes goes on limp mode on start (5mph) have to off and on and its ok. Did also have another problem when the engine was not firing on the first go...took a second go and it was ok.

Got the Handheld U280 and got these results. looked most of them up on Ross-Tech

Looking to do a Capacitance Discharge (battery ) on the 17976 error. Need advise on the rest please :)



#1) 17976 x 2 -Not listed on Ross-Tech but may be re throttle

#2) 17967/P1559/005465 - Throttle Body (J338): Fault in Basic Settings
#3) 17972/P1564/005476 - Throttle Actuator (J338): Under-Voltage during Basic Setting
#4) 17973/P1565/005477 - Throttle Actuator (J338): Lower Stop not Reached
#5) 17950/P1542/005442 - Angle Sensor 1 for Throttle Actuator (G187): Implausible Signal
#6) 17579/P1171/004465 - Angle Sensor 2 for Throttle Actuator (G188) Implausible Signal


 
Looks like an overall TB problem then, so I would check if this is connected ok 1st, then see if you get any readings of it, I would try to do a TBA, maybe the TB has become faulty & needs replacing.
