Q: Could my speed sensors on my 03 ram 2500 have anything to do with my throttle control light being on?
Everytime I start my truck and put it in drive, it will drive a few feet and lose most if not all power and stall out. I'm getting p2100, p2161 and p0571 codes showing up on the code reader. I've already replaced the throttle body and the problem remains.
My car has 179176 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
