Q: p2126

asked by on February 14, 2018

Wrench light turns on after driving a few miles then turns off upon restart. Then the cycle repeats itself coming on and losing power after anywhere from 3-30 miles of driving. Vehicle goes into limp mode.The codes it continuously sets off is p2126 and p2127. I have replaced the entire throttle body assembly and accelerator pedal assembly twice as well as the cars computer. Been trying to fix this for about a month. So all of the above parts have been replaced twice but the problem just keeps coming back. Basically I have wasted a lot of money but cant seem to find someone with enough ford knowledge to crack this one! I am so frustrated I just want to puke!

My car has 110000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
