Consumer Description

I WENT TO GO SHOPPING, AND AT THE SECOND STOP SIGN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I STOPPED. WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE THE GAS PEDAL WHEN PUSHED WOULD NOT LET THE ENGINE GO FAST ENOUGH TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH, THEN I NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED MY ENGINE AND ITS FLUIDS, COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. SO I STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN, AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE. SO I DROVE OFF AND THE CAR WORKED LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE. I THEN WENT TO A AUTO PARTS STORE, AND THEY USED THEIR METER TO CHECK ENGINE CODES. THE CODE WAS P2135, CODE DEFINITION: THROTTLE PEDAL/POSITION SENSOR 'A/B' VOLTAGE CORRELATION. *TR
