It was the throttle body after all. Used one cost me 45. Cleaned it good and installed while the battery and ECM was disconnected. Car runs strong now.
Thanks to all!

Got it. That's exactly what I plan to do when the part comes. Thanks for all of you that chimed in and helped. Let you know how it goes.

Much obliged! What do I need to do to reprogram the electronic throttlebody if need be??

Those are the messages I believe that are displayed. I had a local mechanic scan and he got the p2111 code that indicated stuck throttle valve.

Thanks for the suggestion and I will try asap

Hiya all. This issue may have been posted earlier so my apologies if it was. I've got a 2011 se awd. The car starts but only idles. It engages into gear but the fly by wire throttle does nothing. Car is basically in safe mode. I removed the throttle body and cleaned. Still no improvement. Even befor...
