    I cleared the codes with my scanner. I have an android Bluetooth scanner that works fairly well.

    Any other ideas on what it could be? Just trying to narrow things down... What about the vct solenoids? Could they be keeping the phasers from actuating correctly and result in valve mistime? Seems like that would cause fuel/air imbalance. Just a theory.

    No sir I did not pressure wash it... I know better haha.. And pretty similar issues.. Just terrible mpg and overall bad drivability... Sometimes it seems to run allot better than others. By that I mean it won't studder and my mpg is decent... Other times it sucks gas like nothing I've ever drove...

    You mean by letting it sit with the battery disconnected?.. Yes I have. There were not any codes when I dropped the pedal.. It hesitated and would not accelerate.. Like someone was choking the engine. I nudged the pedal along and it eventually evened our and accelerated like there was too much...

    You were right! That throttle body was shot. The spring no longer pulled closed. Car now runs. Still runs like shit. I'm getting some codes off my reader. P0 174 (system too lean Bank 2) p0011 (A camshaft positioning.. Timing over advanced) p0171(system too lean Bank 1). Car had Zero...

    But would that really cause engine failsafe? Would make sense but there's no feedback from the throttle body whatsoever.

    I'll check the wires! I've got the TB off. How should it feel on these? Again, coming from someone who has always had vehicles with mechanical throttles.. This one sticks where I leave it.. No feeling of springyness.. Is that a word??... It stays exactly where it's left.. It also will not open...

    Will do.. Stand by. Okay guys I'm getting codes and copy cat codes for the the throttle actuator control system. Also when I turn the key and the engine rolls over there is NO throttle response. Furthermore, the pedal is sending a reading so it's not a pedal sensor. I think I'm looking at a...

    Alright.. So I just disconnected the pos and negative terminals.. I'm going to let it sit and try that. I'm gonna grab my buddies tablet code reader tomorrow and will update if this doesn't work. Also.. I'm getting engine failsafe mode before I even turn over the car.. Like it's stuck there or...

    Been trying a couple different things today. Here's my problem. I cleaned the Maf completely alone... Pulled it.. Sprayed it.. Let it dry.. Disconnected the battery to clear the maf code. Let sit . Reconnected the battery and turned the car over.. Engine failsafe mode.. Now my buddy had...
