I have a 2008 ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. The lightening bolts comes on. While I was checking g the Pcv valve I opened the throttle plate. Did this cause an issue that is maki g the bolt ring in. Truck runs like crap now also. Do I have to reset the calibration. Is the throttle body done. If I change the throttle body can I do myself as I have no truck computer to interface to set parameters on throttle communication calibration. How do I calibrate new throttle body if needed. Or is it because I opened plate while battery not disconnected I have this trouble. Any help apprrcisted

It's a joke lol. You said "lightening", which means "to lighten". What you are referring to is "lightning", the stuff in the sky and the source of the term you were attempting to use, "lightning bolt".

I would start by making sure it’s all back together and recalibrating

Try disconnecting the battery for 20 mins to reset the computer and then reconnect it and drive it around if possible.
