  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

2011 4.6. Driving today got a check engine light. Lost most of the cars engine power pulled into a close business. I checked codes on scanner got a P2101 for Throttle Actuator Control Motor and a P2106 Limp Home Mode. Car starts and runs but sounds like crap, won’t rev up. Noticed that there is very little stopping power with the brakes also. Anyone had this issue? Seems like bad throttle body/throttle sensor?
Have not found much online for the Genesis with this issue. Any help would be appreciated
I have the battery disconnected until morning to see if anything resets itself

Found the issue. The rubber boot that attaches to the throttle body was put on improperly and cut the boot. A piece of the boot was caught in the throttle body flapper holding it partway open and causing the issue
 
interesting i just has the same experience, had it towed to the dealership and they reset the sensors. After resetting they said there were no problems, a bit worried to drive it as I commute 60 miles round trip to work

Just to be clear, this was a vacuum issue?
